I can point you to some fun assessments on Mockingbird, and a nice ePortfolio task on Dreamtime. I think there is potential for a really cool mashup of the two. You might need to modify the Dreamtime assignment anyway, as it's based on Victoria, not NSW.

Kanuj,

A good project would be to re-create the story substituting Australian people both the immigrants and the aboriginals in the place of the blacks. The students could write a collaborative story, play, video program. You may want to select scenes from the trial, or the scenes from the community.
