"Australia's development from 1788 to 1900", Chorus - History essay question (HELP)

"We are one, but we are many, and from all the lands on earth we come. We share a dream and sing with one voice: I am, you are, we are Australian." To what extent does this chorus reflect Australia's development from 1788 to 1900? Give reasons for your response.

This is my essay question and I have no idea how to start. Can someone help me please? :(

oh my god!!! It's very difficult!!!
Maybe, you can explain the history events in the period between 1788 and 1900 until the birth of the Nation with the Commonwealth.

Well first off you need to research major dates in Australian history from 1788 - 1900. Then try to pick events that relate to the chorus and tie it all together.

Great idea! And actually, this is very easy, because when you look for what the chorus really says it is only one concept: from all the lands on earth we come

See how easy it will be? Just read about where people came to Australia from during those years.
