Abstract


The purpose of this paper is to provide an account of the contact/impact between Aborigines and Europeans, generated by the coming of the British First Fleet to Australia in 1770, and the further European Settlement. It will outline the changing attitudes of White Australians towards Aboriginal Australians, passing from the initial violence of the colonisation, to the paternalism and protective feeling which characterized the first years of this century. It will then define the policy of forcible assimilation and that of integration, which shaped the years between the 1940's and the end of the 1970's.
