Product Description
When Australia Got a National Parliament: Federation is the story of Australia's British colonial beginnings, and documents the emergence of an Australian national identity, which eventually led to federat6ion in 1901. Read about the hindrances to achieving national unity and also about Henry Parkes, the man usually credited with the real thrust towards federation. The story of federation is recognised as an outstanding achievement in Australia's history. The colonies' willingness to work together for the benefit of the nation has created the stable and largely harmonious democracy we live in today.
