Quick explanation of what I'm up to here:

1. Moving stuff across from History of Australia before 1901 2. Splitting it up more thematically than it was 3. Trying not to duplicate too much from European exploration of Australia 4. Pondering how much should be split out into history of individual settlements, eg Sydney, Port Arthur, Moreton Bay (I'm thinking as much as possible)

This needs to be merged with some of the early content from History of Australia before 1901, specifically the "land exploration" section. I'm just trying to cut everything up at the moment, so I'm not going to do it now, but it'd be good if it happened. Rebecca 00:49, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
