Early+1800's

Toys:
This is a "Spinning Top" that children used to play with. They use to play with things around them like sticks, ropes and different materials. I think the best toys I have are marbles.

Clothes:
Girls always wear high fitted skirts up to their waists and very flairy dresses and boys wore a Pullover Shirt, Trousers, overalls, a Vest and a Waistband. Everyone wears lots of layers to keep them selves warm in winter and to keep the heat off in Summer.

This is type of dress that was worn in the 1800's.

In the early 1800's many people would go and watch plays. In the early 1800s they didnt have TV's or computers.

Everybody used to listen to "Jazz music and romantic music" (Not romantic music, but music like Beatoven)

=**Jobs and Employment:**=

In the 1800's there were Many Jobs that a Adult could Do like Prison Guard, Train Conductor, mining, Horse Carer, baking bread, Farming, making Charcoal and lots of other Enjoyable Jobs. The children had to work in factorys and mine. They were often hired at the same time as their parents and worked as young as 4 years old. I worked at the Post Office in early 1800's. In the early 1800's they use to sell meat, salt, and produce to get money.

What the Post Office looks like:
The Post Office we worked in had "Hay" on the roof. It also had wooden walls and a metal sign hanging above the entrance. And there is a large Gumtree out the back of the shop! The first pst office was in George St Sydney. Sarah Lyttle became Australia's first post mistress when she appointed to take charges of the Albany post office in 1835. I work there now and it has been the same for years.

Food:
My name is Hannah and there are no lollies where I used to live. If we are very good my mummy would put water and sugar together and make some toffee for us.

Living
In the early 1800s the living conditions were awful the rule was 1 family per room. There could be up to 8 families in 1 house the streets were over crowded many people caught diseases from the filth left on the streets.

Children
Children were dressed like little adults they worked in dangerous factories/mines from the age of 4 years old they were also treated like adults the adults didnt believe in spoiling or entertaining there children. Some children went to school, but only if there familys had the money to. Some children had to scavenge around were they live and that got some of the money for the families. The children had lots of chorse, even more so if they lived on a farm. Most children would help there parent either look after smaller children or just to help clean or make tea. Some children's parent were so mean that the children we so disaplend that they could not even go outside! They didn't have lollies neither a happy Preschool to go to in the mornings.

**The first people on Australia:** Prior to 1800's abariganals lived in Australia untill the white people toke over there land. They use to not be called "Aboriginals/Aboriginies" but that is what we call them today.

'Aborigines' was not the name they used to call themselves.
