Has some relevant curriculum materials for Australian history, however I can't help but feel that this kind of thing is like a shining brand-new horse-drawn carriage at the beginning of the twentieth century, unknowing that it has already been superseded...

Anthology of Australian literature.

This is a record of the proceedings of the Old Bailey in London from the 17th to the early 20th centuries. Very useful for a study of poverty and crime in Britain during the Empire or even the convicts that every single Australian believes they are descended from.

Good example of using an LMS (Learning Management System [cool jargon to know!]) for a class. My school uses Moodle and BlackBoard is popular at Australian universities. I organise mine by lesson and direct the students to go through the materials before the lesson, usually podcasts, PowerPoints, links to a source site, etc, depending on what materials I'm using for the lesson. After the lesson I put the podcast of it up there for the students to use for revision, along with the notes they've taken during that lesson. Much more effective than a textbook, I reckon!

A collection of resources on ANZAC which might be useful for classroom activities with younger students.

A subscription-based website with inquiry learning activities.
