∙ 15y agoIn Australia, Federation of the colonies was achieved. Prior to 1901, Australia was made up of six self-governing colonies; New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania. As Australia (New South Wales) was originially established by the British, these colonies were under British rule from the time of the first settlement up until 1901.
On 1 January 1901, federation of the colonies was achieved and the Commonwealth of Australia was proclaimed. Australia's first Governor-General, John Hope, made the proclamation at Centennial Park in Sydney. Australia's first Prime Minister was Edmund Barton.
