Horse and cart (drays and sulkies) were common also. Many goods were still being taken from the sea ports to other ports such as Melbourne and Sydney by large ships.

Although the eastern coastal strip of Australia was claimed on behalf of the British Empire in 1770 by Lieutenant James Cook, and was named by him as New South Wales, this only refers to Australia's inclusion in the British Empire. The six colonies within Australia federated to become the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. This was when Australia actually became a part of the British Commonwealth.
There was no single political leader in Australia before 191, as there was no country of Australia prior to 1901. The continent of Australia was divided into colonies, each led by a premier or, prior to that, a governor. It was not until 1 January 1901, when the six colonies of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania came together under a single federal government in an act known as Federation, that the nation known as the Commonwealth of Australia was formed, and a Prime Minister chosen to lead it.
The first Prime Minister of Australia Edmund Barton was elected in 1901. He was leader of the federal Protectionist Party.
