In the Yolngu tribe‚ moving the canoe that was placed in the bush for the crocodile spirit‚ is considered bad luck and the boys didn’t want to move it but they knew it was the only way to get to Darwin. Another example of aboriginal culture is rope making. It takes three people to make a strong rope and rope making was taught to

Australia has the terrible condition of having an essentially pointless‚ and prefabricated idea of ’Aussie-ness’ that really has no relation to our real culture or the way in which we really sea ourselves. We‚ however subscribe to these stereotypes when trying to find some expression of our Australian identity. The feature film The Castle deals with issues about Australian identity in the 1990’s. The film uses techniques like camera shots‚ language and the use of narration to develop conflict between

Any electronic instrument would give off enough electricity‚ but I eventually settled on using a electric bug zapper because it was easy to set up the crocodile clips with it. Afterwards I tried the same experiment with a television set‚ using tinfoil which gave static electricity when it was switched on and off.

CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM Introduction Folktales are one of the forms of prose narrative which we regarded as fiction. They are not considered as dogma or history‚ they may or may not have happened‚ and they are not to be taken seriously.1 However‚ folktales like other stories provide various experiences that is why they are important. Folktales are not merely stories but there are morals in them‚ probably not obvious but underlying morals in it. In like manner‚ folktales may not be history

Plan In this investigation‚ a simple circuit will be set up to read the voltage and current when the length of the wire changes. The length will range from 10cm-80cm with intervals of 10cm. The length of the wire will be changed by moving the crocodile clip across the wire and checking the measurements with a ruler. The circuit should be set up as in the circuit diagram (as attached). The voltmeter should be set up parallel to the ammeter. The readings from the ammeter and voltmeter will be used
