Every generation has a story to tell. These stories contribute to our richly layered history, they capture the human spirit and connect us with our past. However, over time, the voices from the past have gradually become silent and are now all but forgotten.
Remembering the Past Australia draws on early newspapers, books and archives, to share these stories from long ago. Here you will find an eclectic collection of articles, pictures, yarns, tales, recipes, and more, reproduced to shine a light on the generations that have gone before us.
This wide-ranging collection includes:
- what happened on this day in our history
- stories about our vast and fascinating history which helped shape our country today
- historic pictures of how Australia was
- significant events that happened in the growth of our states and country
- visit our ancestors homes with unique recipes, advice and handy-hints
- first hand accounts of the way life was in early Australia
- the lives of persons in Australian history
- the exploits of our bushrangers, their crimes and the manhunts as justice caught up with them
- a bush tale or yarn or two
- delve into family history resources, with transcriptions from various sources
I hope you will enjoy exploring this fascinating collection of Australia's past.

Hi Lorraine - just wanted to say congratulations for all the work you're doing - there are less givers than receivers in this world so you belong to an elite group!
ReplyDeleteHi Susie - Thank you so much for your kind words. It was my goal to help people find free resources for Australian ancestry research and to bring to light the many interesting stories and pictures of our past. I'm really happy that so many people are finding Remembering the Past Australian a useful and enjoyable resource.
DeleteIs there a record of Frederick Robinson and family arriving in Tasmania from England 1882 or 1883? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeff,
DeleteI haven't been able to find any reference to Frederick arriving in the out of copyright resources that I have access to. Tasmania Archives have digitised a lot of their records you can find "Reports of ships arrivals with lists of passengers" on their website.
23 May 1880 to 7 June 1882 - http://stors.tas.gov.au/MB2-39-1-37
8 June 1882 to 9 July 1884 - http://stors.tas.gov.au/MB2-39-1-38
You will find the passenger lists as you progress through the books.
You can also try the name search facility on their LINC website - https://librariestas.ent.sirsidynix.net.au/client/en_AU/names/
Best of luck with your search!
Congratulations, Lorraine, on this interesting resource! As a direct descendant of nine convicts, I am always keen to come across new sources of information; once I get myself organised again after a break from FH research, I'll hunt out some of the material that I've uncovered which may be of interest to others.
