Every community has its own
defining moments.

These can be personal (something that has a great impact on a family), local (such as an exciting event or a local disaster), national (such as being part of a national event like a wave of immigration), or global (such as participating in a world war).

Soon you’ll be investigating your own local community, discovering some of the exciting defining moments that have shaped both people and place.

To help get you started we have chosen a fascinating example of a local community in Australia that you can explore to uncover the myriad defining moments that have shaped its history.

When you have done this you will know how best to investigate the defining moments in your own local community, which we hope you will share with your family and friends.
