Take a virtual step into National Archives for a free, interactive tour of the Disrupt, persist, invent: Australians in an ever-changing world exhibition.

Why did two women chain themselves to a bar in Brisbane in 1973?
What made the Pacific Islanders Association write to Prime Minister Alfred Deakin in 1906?
How did recipes for ‘lemon cheese’ and ‘fruit flummery’ make a difference to rural communities in the early 1930s?
And what can you do to create change in your community today?
Whether it be through protests, petitions, or puddings, Australians have shown creativity, courage and persistence in their efforts to create change. Allow our archival records to inspire you and your students to make your own difference today.
