A group of youth workers I interviewed nearby also expressed an explicit lack of interest in an official national history:

Do any of you feel at all connected to Australia’s past?

Adam: I don’t feel particularly connected. Because I see myself as an Aussie and stuff, but like, my family tree and stuff just cut into Australia’s history. So we weren’t there from the beginning and we don’t really have any Australian ancestors or anything like that. So I don’t feel particularly connected, but it’s interesting. It’s not really a part of me so much.

Mike: The thing is, we all pretty much know the Australian history. The Hume and Hovell monument is over there [pointing], we know about the goldrush and all that stuff. But all that stuff happened however long ago, and all that stuff changes so quickly, it’s just not us.
