Research Essay

Henry Reynolds declares that ‘the tension between history, culture and identity on the one hand, and geography on the other, was always most apparent in North Australia. It was there that geography threatened to engulf history’. (North of Capricorn, viii).

Discuss the relationship between place and history in Australia, with explicit reference to Reynolds’ excerpt from North of Capricorn and one other unit text (if you like, this can be an excerpt from the Unit Reader, or any poem in Webb or CAAP).
