| | Charles Darwin - Open Encyclopedia |
| | Unexpectedly to Darwin, his theory became not only a key scientific controversy of the era, but was also resonated with many anti-Victorian sentiments at the time, becoming a key fixture of popular culture of the period (and beyond). | | | During his voyage, he visited the Cape Verde Archipelago, the Falkland Islands, the South American coast, the Galapagos Islands, New Zealand and Australia, meeting native peoples, seeing natural wonders, and above all, collecting considerable quantities of specimens which were sent back at intervals during the voyage. | | | Darwin is included in the top 10 of the 100 Greatest Britons poll sponsored by the BBC and voted for by the public. |

| | Chinese New Year - Stories from Australia's Culture and Recreation Portal |
| | Chinese New Year - Stories from Australia's Culture and Recreation Portal | | | Australia's biggest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, have famous Chinatowns - Dixon Street in Sydney, and the area around Little Bourke Street in Melbourne - which are a hub for restaurants, Chinese grocery stores and other small businesses, and centres for the celebration of festivals such as Chinese New Year. | | | Chinese people first came to Australia in large numbers during the Gold Rush in the 1850s and 60s and many Chinese-Australian families can trace their settlement in Australia to that time. |

| | Case Study |
| | The stated goal was that Nauru desired compensation from Australia for the environmental damage that resulted from the mining of the phosphate that took place prior to Nauru's independence in 1968. | | | Nauru exports the majority of its phosphate to Australia, which uses it as a fertilizer because its soils are poor for agriculture.(2) | | | The case between Nauru and Australia was quite complicated, with each side accusing the other with different allegations. |

| | The fate and future of Aboriginal Australia |
| | There are some real puzzles in the prehistory of Australia and Sahul, one of which is why agriculture did not spread overland to other parts of Sahul, and also why there is such a distinct linguistic and cultural break between Melanesian culture in New Guinea and Aboriginal culture in Australia. | | | Apparently Jews are more sensitive on these things because they got here more recently and their familiarity with the Holocaust directed at the Jews of Europe has made them overly preoccupied with such matters and led them to exaggerate the magnitude of the atrocities perpetrated on Australia's Aboriginal population. | | | Australia and New Guinea were one continent until 6000 years ago and all experts agree that agriculture developed in the New Guinea highlands at least 9000 years ago and probably earlier. |

| | Western Culture Encyclopedia Article @ NaturalResearch.org (Natural Research) |
| | Owing to the influence of Arab culture—a culture that had preserved the knowledge of ancient Greece and Rome—in Moorish Spain and in the Levant during the Crusades, Western Europe rediscovered its Greek heritage in the 1300s, and the Renaissance was born. | | | Therefore, the impact of "modernization" and "modern" technology may not merely be "scientific" (that is, physical) but may possibly be closely linked with a certain culture, that of the West, such that without such technology, Western culture today would have been dramatically different from how it is known in actual historical and contemporary times. | | | The eradication of that ancient scourge, smallpox, was led by a Westerner, Donald Henderson. |

| | Apostolic Exhortation Ecclesia in Oceania |
| | Deeply involved in the scientific, technological, and social developments of the Western world, Australia is now a largely urban, modern and secularized nation, in which successive immigrations from Europe and Asia have contributed to make it a multicultural society. | | | Cultures are not only not diminished by this encounter; rather they are prompted to open themselves to the newness of the Gospel's truth and to be stirred by this truth to develop in new ways". | | | For all the great diversity of cultures and traditions, she is one in faith, hope and charity, one in Catholic doctrine and discipline, one in the communion of the Most Holy Trinity. |

| | Evangelium Vitae - Catholicism, the media and the 'culture of death' |
| | Another useful exercise here in Australia, as elsewhere, is to identify the principal advocates of the death culture and answer their arguments, while spelling out fully to the general public what they are saying in their books and articles. | | | Neither can it be denied that a variation of the culture wars is also occurring within Judaism and the Christian denominations, with recurrent hostilities, muted or overt, between those we might describe as orthodox or progressive. | | | If this moral confusion intensifies, if the culture of death with its emphasis on violence, ugliness and pornography gains more and more ground in the media, it is inevitable that the decline of Christian faith and practice, especially in Western countries, will also gather pace. |

| | Does Extinction Loom for Australia's Wild Dingoes? |
| | Wilton and his colleagues recently analyzed the DNA of hundreds of wild dingoes across Australia and found that nearly 80 percent of them are crossbreeds. | | | Genetic evidence suggests Australian dingoes descended from a small group of ancient dogs—perhaps a single pregnant female—brought to Australia from Indonesia about 5,000 years ago. | | | Alan Wilton, a senior lecturer in genetics at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, said pure dingoes are in decline mainly because they breed freely with feral European domestic dogs, creating fertile crossbreeds. |
