We got to know some big cities and popular sites in down under, learned something about the Aborigines, Australian history and typical Austalian animals. Each student chose a topic of personal interest and wrote a short text which you can read here:

We created a timeline with important dates of Australian history, read about the stolen generation and listened to Kevin Rudds Sorry-speech. Some of us read the book “Rabbit-proof Fence” before we watched the movie “Long walk home”.
