This website is worth exploring! The website has a strong research base and each section has been developed in consultation with the local Aboriginal community. Teachers wanting information about a particular area in Sydney can find information relating to 'Place'. All events related to that area are described by a century and then decade. The website contains a timeline, various topics and a gallery.

Significance is a historical concept but what does it mean? What evidence do historians use to determine significance? What criteria do we use to decide whether someone or something is significant?
For more about the notion of SIGNIFICANCE, refer to research by: 1. Ian Dawson 2. Christine Counsell 3. Geoffery Partington
These three researchers all put forward slightly different models for exploring the concept of significance.
