The first public demonstration of electricity in the form of lighting in Australia occurred in Sydney as early as the 1830s, thanks to a strong push by Governor Bourke. However, electricity was not readily available to houses or anywhere else then. The introduction of electricity was a gradual thing, and it wasn't until 1863 that the city of Sydney was lit up to mark the occasion of the wedding of the Prince of Wales. Electric lighting was only used regularly in Sydney, the largest city, from 1878.
