Sir Henry Parkes tried his hand at several occupations. He was originally a farmer's labourer, then became a clerk, before managing his own business. He was unsuccessful in each of the businesses he tried to manage, and was ultimately elected to the New South Wales parliament in 1854.

He was Premier of New South Wales on and off, several times, between 1872 and 1891.
