Leader: Donald Denoon

Tuesdays 2 Feb-23 March 10.00am – 12.00

The course surveys Australia’s external territories, from Antarctica to the Equator, and asks: how did Australians acquire these places and peoples; how have they been managed; and how on earth can they be disposed of.
Territories that will be considered are: Antarctica; Christmas Island; Norfolk Island; Torres Strait; Papua; New Guinea; other Pacific Islands; and the ones that got away.
Participants will be encouraged to explore the topic through their own reading (there are half a dozen worthy books) as well as interviews and Internet searches, but the main class focus will be on viewing documentary films.
Maximum number: 12
Venue: Reg Murphy Centre, Potts Point
