Series Australian Geographic History

Publisher: AUSTRALIAN GEOGRAPHIC HOLDINGS PTY LTD

As the Australian colonies developed, they began devoting large areas of land to raising sheep and growing wheat and other grains. By the 1830s, New South Wales had become the main source of wool for the mills of Britain. This was driven by squatters—people who had obtained land free or at low prices and grown wealthy in the process.
