In Australia the transport available between 1900 and 1920 included horse ridden and driven vehicles. "Cobb & Co", the Australian horse-drawn passenger and mail service, was popular and widespread throughout the eastern states. Rail-links were established between many centres, allowing for passage of people and goods. Within the larger cities, trams were popular. Waterways carried paddlesteamers and boats, and ships were used at sea. Motorised vehicles were beginning to be imported, and of course the bicycle was a favourite.
== == They used horse and carts, motor cars and steam trains Train's weren't rare at all, in fact the transport system in Victoria was quite large. Cars in that time were imported from America, Britain, Germany and France In Britain and the USA there were more than 100 different manufacturers of cars at that time.
Within Australia in the 1800s, the most common type of transport was horse and carriage, known variously as a dray or a sulky. Cobb & Co was a passenger and goods transport company which operated from 1853. It had an extensive network of travel routes throughout Victoria and New South Wales (beginning initially on the Victorian goldfields), and even southern Queensland. The company imported specially sprung coaches that could handle Australia's rough roads, and horses were changed at stations along the route. Railways began to be built and opened from the 1850s onwards.
Horse-drawn trams were also used in some areas, until steam-driven and electric trams were brought in during the late 1800s. Steam trains were developed from the 1850s onwards.
In the cities the common transport was the tram. However, immediately outside the cities and in rural areas the transport was still a horse and a carriage or cart.
'Cars' during this time were still far too expensive for Australians and there were few proper roads built in this time that could accomadate them.
Prior to the development of the petrol engine, commn transport used in Australia included:
Back in the early 1900's, transportation was developing quickly. It was being modernized - animal power was starting to be replaced by newly invented machines and engines, enabling faster and more comfortable travel.
Steam-powered locomotives were mainly used in the industrialised world as it could carry a large number of workers and supplies over a great distance very efficiently. They could only travel along the railway, so goods and people had to be offloaded at the nearest station to their final destination.
Animal power was still being used for transporting people and supplies. Horses and bullocks were most commonly used for pulling carts.
The steam car were slowly replacing animal power and became very common in cities in 1910 . The roads between major cities in Australia were yet still dirt roads, making traveling on the motor car a difficult and uncomfortable experience.
Trams were also being used as city population grew, leading to a demand of public transport. The first electric tram in Sydney started to operate in December 1899, going from George Street to Circular Quay.
Sea travel was also developing quickly during the early 1900's. Sailing ships were replaced by steam ships and they could travel over a large distance without depending on the wind. The steam ships also enabled faster travel - it only took 30 days to travel from England to Australia while this journey originally took about 140 days.

The continent of Australia was set aside for this purpose.
Cobb & Co was an Australian transport company during the goldrush years of the mid to late 1800s. It was started by four Americans, Freeman Cobb, John Murray Peck, James Swanton and John Lamber, in 1854. Originally called the American Telegraph Line of Coaches, the name was later changed to Cobb & Co. The men imported from America specially sprung coaches that could handle Australia's rough roads and rocky tracks. The name Cobb & Co became synonymous with passenger and goods transport in Australia.

Both the kangaroo and the dingo were in Australia in the 1800s. The kangaroo is native to Australia, and dingoes were brought over by the Aborigines, although it is not certain when.
Australia has never had an official language, then or now. However, in the 1800s, the most commonly spoken language in Australia was the same as it is now - English.
Transport Workers Union of Australia was created in 1906.
by the 1800s, Europe had conquered most of the Americas and Australia by 1800.

The majority of the early convicts sent to Australia were harmless petty thieves, and political prisoners. It was only after the first few fleets that more violent criminals began to be transported as well, in the early 1800s.
