My Australian

My Australian
Past
| On my
searches about the
country and the resources on the internet, I
have a collection of links and homepages of people with historical
testimonials, ..which I think is telling the REAL history of my
country..along with an assortment of early photo's..Australia is still
a young country but the pioneers that came here to
shape this Island into what it is today.... whether it be good or bad....were some incredibly brave people...men, women and children..... leaving their homeland and coming here to a place god only knows!. |
"It's no
use blaming anyone now.... It
is not that I fear death. I fear it as little as to drink a cup of tea.
On the evidence that has been given, no juryman could have given any
other verdict.
That is my opinion. But, as I say, if I'd examined the
witnesses,
I'd had shown matters in a different light...For my own
part, I don't care one straw about my life, nor the result of the
trial;
and I know very well from the stories I've been told, of how I
am spoken of- that the public at large execrate my name...
But I don't
mind, for I am the last that carries public favour or dreads the public
frown.
Let the hand of the law strike me down if it will; but I ask my
story be heard and considered."
(Ned Kelly 1880)
