Best Answer

The first industry to be established in Australia was the agricultural industry. Agriculture, or farming, was necessary to ensure the survival of the colony. Whilst early crops were not successful, it was still the industry where most efforts were concentrated, as starvation was a very real possibility in the early years.

The wool industry was the first major industry within the agricultural industry to be established.
