Event description
Australia s military history predates Federation. Hear one of our historians speak about colonial Australian military commitments. About this event
In this month’s Museum At Home webinar we take a closer look at three wars that Australian troops participated in before the Australian colonies federated in 1901.
In 1885, New South Wales sent a contingent to Sudan in support of a British Imperial expeditionary force. In 1899 in South Africa, tensions between Britain and the two Boer republics resulted in the outbreak of war. All Australian colonies, and then the new Australian Commonwealth, sent contingents to this South African (Boer) War. During this war, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia separately sent contingents to China to support British forces during the Boxer Rebellion.
