1 True Australians? Then and Now Heather Stallard , 2008 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Folklore , November no. 23 2008; (p. 240-245) ‘Since 1788, when Great Britain established a penal colony at Sydney, and the ‘first fleet’ arrived with their seven hundred and seventeen prisoners, Australians have had to grapple with the subject of their identity – British, but also clearly ‘other’. To understand their dilemma, it is important to take a look at the early history of white settlement and the attitudes that prevailed at that time, not only amongst the convicts themselves, but also amongst their oppressors.’ (p. 240)
