What was so important about John MacArthur?

John Macarthur is often regarded as the Father of Australia's sheep industry. He was a man with a great deal of influence in colonial Australia, and it was he who arranged for the first Merino sheep to be brought to Australia from Spain. The first Spanish Merino sheep were brought to Australia in 1797. This type of Merino was a tough sheep which could handle Australia's extreme conditions. There had been little initial success with grain growing - a situation that was rectified as the colony grew - but sheep were an excellent mainstay, easy to maintain and profitable for both domestic and overseas markets. See the related link about the role of John Macarthur in the establishment of the Merino sheep in Australia.

What does a sheep have to do with Australia?

It has been said that Australia rides on the sheep's back. This is a colloquialism to say that the sheep industry in Australia, particularly wool more so than meat, was a driving force in the early economy of Australia. From the time the first sheep were imported by John Macarthur, the new Merino breed was specially developed for Australian conditions. The breed was hardy and able to withstand the Australian conditions, and it produced fine, thick wool which was in great demand in England.
