Historical reenactment in Australia has been occurring since at least the mid-1970s. Three main umbrella groups, the Queensland Living History Federation (QLHF) and the Australasian Living History Federation (ALHF)and the Australian Reenactors Association (ARA), formed to represent the interests of re-enactment and living history groups around Australia. The (Australasian Living History Federation ) was formed in 2002 and acts as a focus for historical reenactment and living history societies portraying aspects of world history within Australia (except Queensland). The (Queensland Living History Federation (QLHF) ) formed in 1997 to represent the interests of reenactors and living historians in Queensland. Member groups of the QLHF range from Ancient Rome to the Vietnam War era. Membership of QLHF is based on high standards of safety, authenticity, research and performance. The (Australian Reenactors Association (ARA) ) formed in 2012 to represent members' focus on different historical periods and locations from the Classical Ancient world through to Australians in the Second World War. Aside from organising public liability insurance, the ARA also acts to represent members’ interests in areas such as legislation that affects re-enactment activities. The ARA offers members, event organisers and the public, advice and guidance on such things as performance and display safety and the reasonable presentation of historical accuracy in recreational re-enactment activities. The (Australasian Register of Living History Organisations (ARLHO) ) is a website that provides links to living history groups in Australia and New Zealand. The Dark Ages, medieval, and Renaissance periods are popular eras for reenactments, and the three largest events, as measured by participants, focus on these eras of history. 18th and 19th century reenactment groups are also popular, and convey Australian interest in early colonial pre-federation military regiments. The history of the Australian Light Horse regiments an the area of Australian history with wide interest, with nearly 15 groups, the first starting in 1978 〔"A Troop – Richmond Windsor — Australian Light Horse Association". Lighthorse.org.au. Retrieved 2010-09-04.〕 formed to reenact this period of military history. There is also some focus on the Australian Pioneer era. With no conventional land battles and few protracted civil disturbances since the British colonisation of Australia, most military reenactment in Australia focuses on events from other countries (mostly European), including the European Feudal, medieval, and renaissance eras, and American Civil War. The Viking Era is popular. The oldest surviving reenactment groups in Australia are the Ancient and Medieval Martial Arts Society, originally established in the 1970s, the New Varangian Guard founded in early 1981. In Queensland, the Knights Guild of Wessex and Mercia Inc was formed in 1979–80. While focused more on living history rather than reenactment, the Society for Creative Anachronism was formed as a local group in Sydney in 1980,〔http://www.sca.org.au/seneschal/d.php/SCA+2+History+of+Lochac.pdf A Short History of Lochac〕 before officially joining the U.S.-based group in late 1981. ==Periods== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Historical reenactment in Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
