This complete Year 7 History unit contains ten 35 to 70‑minute lessons covering Deep Time Australia and the long history of First Nations Australians. The sequence introduces students to migration into Sahul, First Nations technologies, cultural obligations, environmental adaptation, fire stick farming, continuity and change, archaeology, evidence, and heritage protection. Each lesson is designed for flexible classroom use and supports clear historical understanding through purposeful learning activities, discussion prompts, and workbook‑based tasks. The unit aligns with ACARA v9.0 and fits smoothly into any middle school Ancient History or First Nations history program.
