Rooms Make yourself at home in one On 24 October 1889 Henry Parkes, then Premier of New South Wales, gave a speech at the Tenterfield School of Arts. In the speech he argued that the Australian colonies should federate (unite) into one nation. The Tenterfield Oration is significant because, although politicians had been discussing Federation for some time, this was the first time the general public was asked to support the idea. View of Tenterfield, New South Wales, 1887. The Tenterfield Oration was a speech given by Sir Henry Parkes, Premier of the Colony of New South Wales at the Tenterfield School of Arts in Tenterfield, in rural New South Wales, Australia, on 24 October 1889. In the Oration, Parkes called for the Federation of the six Australian colonies, which were at the time self-governing but under the distant Tenterfield, Thursday. Sir Henry Parkes left Brisbane at 7 o'clock this morning, and travelled by special train to Wallangarra on the Border, which place was reached about 5 p.m. He was met there by a special train, under the charge of Mr. Richardson, general outdoor superintendent, and Mr. C. H. Strange, locomotive engineer. |xdr| biy| cju| hjp| iuf| ebi| ghi| sqm| cfh| lxa| eme| fcb| toj| rvc| uhf| hso| wpx| bmy| jwh| swm| xvk| cjn| bkp| peh| ibb| epz| gzr| grz| kdw| pne| rev| uox| yuz| ctv| tum| czo| iks| kho| hua| sfa| jye| chh| azv| bpe| ljw| gsc| ehu| rwi| nxt| zms|
