4—' Australasia, the New World in the South'
ElLEEN POWER, Professor of Economic History in the University of London
Last week Professor Eileen Power talked about the opening up of Africa ; today she is to talk about the opening up of Australasia, the New World in the south. She will discuss Australasia -that is to say Australia and New Zealand-before the coming of the Europeans ; the arrival there of both the Dutch and the British in the seventeenth century; the first settlements. Her talk will cover ' transportation ', the squatters, the gradual exploration of the whole Continent. And finally John Macarthur and the merino sheep, the Gold Rush, and those most important things to Australasia and the world--cold storage and Canterbury lamb.
