Pioneers SA celebrates our shared heritage and honour the achievements of south Australian pioneers. The blog provides links and resources to tell us the story of the early years of European settlement and colonisation in South Australia.

How to use the information

These resources will help students to answer the following History Inquiry Questions:

What do we know about the lives of people in Australia’s colonial past and how do we know?

How did an Australian colony develop over time and why?

How did colonial settlement change the environment?

What were the significant events and who were the significant people that shaped Australian colonies?”  (https://www.australiancurriculum.edu.au/)

The resources contain both primary and secondary sources. While this site is aimed at children it is of interest to all ages.
