First Fleet - - resources for teachers and kids learning about Australian history
On the 26th of January we celebrate Australia Day.
But why do we mark it on that day in particular? To answer that question, Sarah will take you back in time to 1788, to meet some kids who came to Australia on the First Fleet.
And if you want to see what conditions were like sailing long distances at that time, watch this story: http://www.abc.net.au/btn/story/s4076...
