One people, one destiny.
Before
1901 the nation of Australia did not exist. Queensland, New South Wales,
Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia were six
separate colonies under British rule. But among the people of the
colonies, the idea of unity was emerging: 'a whole continent for a
nation, and a nation for a continent'.
Here s the story of how
ordinary citizens became the first in the world to write and vote for
their own Constitution, and how they came together to form the nation of
Australia.
