The Australian landscape was mainly flat. While there were isolated streams and bodies of water, most of Australia was blanketed under sand, dust, and vegetation. The settlers, however, would build horse ranches, along with residential and commercial communities. This, of course, was under the mandate of the British government.
Colonial settlements were mostly built along rivers. The settlers used the waterpower of the rivers to run their mills. Navigable rivers provided transportation between settlements for people and their goods.
