# Chronologie der australischen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur

Diese Chronologie der australischen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur soll einen Überblick über wichtige Ereignisse in der Geschichte der Kinder- und Jugendliteratur Australiens bieten.
Erfasst sind vor allem Veröffentlichungen wichtiger Kinder- und Jugendbücher, d. h. von Büchern, die entweder vom Publikum, von der Buchkritik oder von der Literaturwissenschaft stark beachtet worden sind. Unter der Bezeichnung „Kinder- und Jugendbücher“ werden dabei nicht nur solche Arbeiten verstanden, die von vornherein für junge Leser gedacht waren, sondern auch „kind-“ und „jugendgerechte“ Bearbeitungen von Büchern, die ursprünglich für andere Zielgruppen geschrieben worden sind.
Berücksichtigt sind daneben auch Einzelereignisse aus dem Gesamtumfeld der australischen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur wie z. B. die Gründung wichtiger Kinderbuchverlage oder die Stiftung von Literaturpreisen.
