Product Description
The British penal colony of New South Wales was created in 1788 as a place to send people convicted of offences in British courts. Eventually New South Wales was split into six separate colonies: New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia. Each colony was independant of the others, with a governor appointed from London. These very powerful governors did not have to answer to any elected government other than the British parliament.
