Yes. The Hunter River settlement was founded on the discovery of coal. As such, there was a rich market for its Natural Resources from the very beginning. Timber also came to be seen as a much-sought-after resource. Convicts provided cheap labour to mine the coal and cut the timber. Costs were kept to a minimum, and the wealth of resources attracted free settlers from the Port Jackson area.
