Sir Henry Parkes (1815-1896) was an influential Australian politician and statesman, often referred to as the "Father of Federation" for his pivotal role in the movement towards the unification of the Australian colonies. He served multiple terms as the Premier of New South Wales and was a strong advocate for the establishment of a federal government in Australia. Parkes played a key role in the 1890 Corowa Conference, which laid the groundwork for the eventual federation of Australia in 1901. His vision for a united Australia significantly shaped the nation's political landscape.
