On the Sheep's Back: creating primary industries
Author(s): Australian Geographic
As the Australian colonies developed, they began devoting large areas of land to the raising of fine-wool sheep, 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.
