Australia Welcomes You To 2010
Posted on 01. Jan, 2010 by charles in Cities, Countries, People, Places
Fireworks, dancing in the street, champagne and wine flows, and music rings out here in Australia. We are ahead of the world, as the New Year has arrived. It is 222 years since the original colonists sailed in into Sydney Harbour. There were over 1400 of them, of which half had been sent to serve their sentence for alleged crimes committed in England. Their journey had taken 9 months on old creaking saillng boats. When they arrived, there were no houses, no shops and no facilities and a wild untamed land. The aboriginal tribes looked on from a distance, no doubt worried about who the white men and women were and what they would do. If both the settlers and aborigines were to return today what would they find?
Sydney Opera House
Sydney is now a vibrant world class city with over 4 million people in and around the central areas, which is situated on a magnificent habour facing the Pacific Ocean. The original group of settlers only just survived, as they were left for two and half years without the British Government sending supplies. Incredible, but true. Now, there are about 22 million people in Australia from most countries of the world.
It is ten years since Sydney hosted the Olympic Games. It seems like only yesterday. What does the future hold for next group of settlers and the next generation? If they are as resourceful as their ancestors then we will see amazing developments. To celebrate, I am writing a book called Amazing People of Sydney and it will be published in April 2010 via www.amazingpeopleclub.com.
Best wishes for the New Year —– Charles Margerison
