” ..the first Australian colony emerged from a sea of print. By September 1786, newspapers reported the British government’s decision to establish a colony at Botany Bay (or Norfolk Island), and both the London and provincial newspapers regularly commented as plans proceeded. Government efforts to establish the colony and the many motivations for colonisation are revealed in the late eighteenth-century record-keeping procedures of the British bureaucracy. There was also contention about its practicality. Convict transportation was a driver, given that the decision to establish a penal colony was made in the context of vigorous public debate about crime and punishment under the Pitt government after the disruption caused by the American Revolution, but the colony’s strategic value in the [Hemispheric or mega- “] region [“] and the potential for the new settler colonies to support Britons were also key factors. One vision of the colony’s potential emerged in January 1787 in the King’s announcement at the opening of Parliament. Several newspapers reported that

” ‘.. It is an undertaking of humanity, for in all the islands of the South Seas, there is not a four-footed animal to be found but the hog, the dog and the rat, nor any of the grain of the other quarters of the world .. By the number of cattle now sending over of various sorts, and all the different seeds for vegetation, a capital improvement will be made in the southern part of the New World; and our ships, which may hereafter sail in that quarter of the globe, must receive refreshment in greater plenty than from the exhausted soil of Europe, consider that all New South Wales is formed of a virgin mould, undisturbed since the creation.’¹

” ..beyond convict transportation the benefits of agriculture and ‘capital improvement,’ and the promise of the Antipodean new world to refresh the European old world, were both pragmatic and metaphorical. In the configuration New South Wales was the model for a modern English Enlightenment colony. Most notably, New South Wales provided a distinctive {SPACE] in which Anglophone Enlightenment ideas and evangelical Christianity coalesced².

” .. So, too, was his metaphoric yoking together of imperial policy, natural history and the untested nature of penal reform in the colony.

” Hope’s departing edict – to conjoin peace, art and labour – set a lofty ambition for the colony. Wedgewood’s made with Sydney clay were sent back to New South Wales to demonstrate the manufacturing opportunities of colonial materials and served to show, metonymically⁴, how these resources could be refined by European industry and stamped with high cultural expectations³. “
