The reason I choose this document was because it was the only evidence of the stolen generation on display. I think this is a very important aspect of Australian culture, because what happened is unique to Australian history, Australia as a nation is still dealing with the effects, and because Aboriginal background is the original Australian culture.
Title : Australia – The land of Opportunity
Date : 1928
Record Creator : Department of Dominions Office, United Kingdom

Although British settlement is not unique to Australia I found this poster to be extremely relevant to our culture. This is because it’s about people moving to Australia for new opportunities, something the majority of Australians can relate to.
