NEW SOUTH WALES was colonized
y by the British in 1887, for the ex-
press object of having territory that
could be utilized as relief station for
the overcrowded English tails, and to
which the most refractory criminals
could be sent to work out their SEN
tences. It is not too much to say that
nine-tenths of the early inhabitants OF
the province we're convicts; whether
they all deserved the stigma or not Is
another matter. Many of them cer-
tainly did, and were among the most
degraded of the human race. In those
days military rule was the only govern
ment Vice and immortality made the
new and beautiful settlement a hell
upon earth.
But these evils soon came to an end.
The natural charms and commercial
possibilities of Australia became known
in Europe and a steady influx OF pure
family life and of honorably ambitious
youth pouring into the foul stream had
purifying effect that nothing could
resist. The cry arose for an organized
form of government, and military rule,
with all its evils, gave way to a Legls-
lative Council formed in 1924. A pro-
portion of the convicts were men inno-
cent of crime or criminal tendencies,
who had been exiled purely for political
reasons OF these, many were Irish
They brought with them their religious
beliefs, and these with their families
and the free settlers banded themselves
into an association that stood like a
rock for the loyal and the good.
Churches and clergy, schools and re-
formatories arose in the land. and at
length the colony decided to refuse all
further admission of convicts. The nu-
cleus of a great city was formed. The
site, as it happened, is over freestone
quarry. and streets of handsome snow
white buildings replaced the huts Of the
pioneers.
AS pioneer settlement of the Austria
lian colonies, she has more the look of
an Old World city than any other at
the Antipodes. The streets are irreg-
ular and often narrow, with handsome
residences surrounded by groves or gar
dens, or, as on the North Shore, tower
ing over successive terraces Of wood
and hill. Public edifices are perched
