Australia Flashcards
Crossing of the Blue Mountains in 1813 as the most significant development in spreading impact of British rule in Australia
Opened up grazing land -> provided New South Wales with half its annual grain requirements
Ordered establishment of Bathurst, Australia’s first inland city
Using British legilsature as the most significant development in spreading impact of British rule in Australia
1814 a Second Charter of Justice issued for NSW defining how civil court system was to be structured -> three new Courts of Civil Judicature established
1814 two solicitors (Fredrick Garling and Moore) arrived in NSW. English law to be followed as far as possible -> where new ordinances or laws were needed they had to be consistent with English laws
HOWEVER, many settlers discontented and questioned whether laws were valid claiming he was exceeding his auhtority i.e. 1816 his law against trespassing on government land meant three trespassers (all free settlers) were flogged
The moral growth of the colony as the most significant development in spreading impact of British rule in Australia
In exchnage for fair treatment, Macquarie demanded ex-convicts live reformed (Christian) lives i.e. regularly attend church and encouraged Christian marriages
Passed law against cohabitation without marriage -> made it less like ‘prisoners of prisoners’ being claimed off the boat
Limited alcohol consumption of the colony by limiting sales and closing pubs in religious holidays
Lachlan Macquarie made a POSITIVE contribution to the development of New South Wales through legilsature
- Grew moral growth of the colony -In exchnage for fair treatment, Macquarie demanded ex-convicts live reformed (Christian) lives i.e. regularly attend church and encouraged Christian marriages

Lachlan Macquarie made a POSITIVE contribution to the development of New South Wales through infrastructure growth of the colony
Built road over Blue Mountains in 1813 -> opened up grazing land -> provided New South Wales with half its annual grain requirements -> ordered establishment of Bathurst, Australia’s first inland city
Reinvested colony profits -> built schools, roads, barracks and churches using Francis Greenway’s (a convict) architects skills -> developed Sydney into a town which is still evident in Sydney today
Built Sydney Rum Hospital for free (alochol used as payment for workers)
Growth from public works supported the colony and provided employment through difficult tumes for both emancipists and convicts
Lachlan Macquarie made a NEGATIVE contribution to the development of New South Wales through his treatment of aboriginal people
1814 Native Institution in Parramatta for the education of aboriginal children -> aboriginal children enrolled in school (sometimes by force) and taught/raised on European education and culture -> children were treated well but the force and socialisation was deliberate attempt to limit the future of aboriginal culture
Open conflict broke out between aboriginals and Macquarie’s administration in 1814 (for two years) -> Macquarie towns at the expense of the local aboriginals guerilla warfare against the settlers -> Macquarue sanctioned attacks in retaliation and in 1816 killed 14 aboriginals
HOWEVER, did return Broken Bay and Georges Head back to aboriginal control
