The vital industrial revolution in Australia took place in (1750-1914), that was the most fascinating duration and a significant step for modernisation in the history of modern world (Moore, 2014). It has so many impacts and was the catalyst for dramatic social variations. This revolution was more than the chimneys, small boys struggling for satanic mills. The industrialization had a major link with the gold, as the gold was been found in Victoria in 1851, when the industrialization in Britain was on its best. In the same year The Great Exhibition was staged in Hyde Park London at famous Crystal Palace. This was organised by both of the industrial technology and design as a celebration of modernisation, and also show cased British Industrial Superiority. Around 6 million people that was equivalent to one-third of the whole population of Britain at that time, visited the Exhibition and many of them were soon to there to join the mass migration to the goldfields (Gray, 2016). …show more content…
The people who travelled to Australia in the 1850s brought the experience, knowledge and the great skills that lead to the major industrial revolution.
Many of them had ridden in the trains, and were confident enough that this would bring the new stream and the powered age would establish Australia as the most powerful nation on earth, as they had also worked in the modern industrial factories of that time (Macapuno, 2014). Some of them also travelled Australia as the Great Britain iron hulled auxiliary ocean- that was the going stream passenger ship ever built. The diggings area that represented the early years on the goldfields majorly expressed the pre-industrial technology, as the work was done using the human or horse power (Hoy,
2014). Timeline representation of Industrialization process in Australia
During the 1850s, the gold became more complicated to reach, the miners on the Victorian Goldfields also applied the knowledge that they got in Industrialization of Britain. As a result they rapidly introduced steam-powered machinery so as to access the tasks that next to impossible for the humans and the horse power (Goh, 2016). The technology boomed as the Industrial Revolution had now already created the major methods that had a vital need to reach the gold buried deeply in the ground (Loosemore, 2015).
Among this the Sovereign Hills were having the largest collection of working steam-driven technology in Victoria. It also consisted of wheelwright’s factory rows of machinery that were firstly steam-driven, and still turned the tree trunks into wooden spoke wheels (wadera, 2015). This was a major example of an early established factory demonstrating the techniques of mass production. The modern machinery was really worth a visit a Sovereign Hill. It was from the Defence factory in Ohio in the USA from the 1880s and was being installed at the Sovereign hill to show the transition from handmade wooden wheels using machinery that are simple to be mechanised production line process, when the components were made an masse and were assembled almost like a kit.
