  7. The Heidelberg School became the accepted national style of art because of several complex reasonsincluding • the emergence of nationalism and federation • the forceful advocacy of the School’s work through the public media (Arthur Streeton was the critic for the Melbourne newspaper, Argus, from 1929 to 1935) brought into prominence the names of the artists • the development of art institutions such as art schools, societies and galleries enabled artists to see themselves as part of an Australian tradition rather than an English or European one • Accessibility of Heidelberg by a good public transport system - first settled in 1840 on the outskirts of Melbourne. In 1888 the Heidelberg railway opened • By 1890s the population was greater in the capital cities and large country towns than the bush and enjoyed a higher standard of living and the pioneering past was rapidly disappearing.

  8. There was a strong nationalistic spirit when Australia celebrated its centenary in 1888 • The wool industry was thriving; Australia was supplying more than half the world's fine wool • Subsistence farming was spreading, with a middle class of shopkeepers and traders in the cities • There was intense political activity and by 1890 all colonies in Australia had responsible government. They had two Houses of Parliament, Legislative Assembly (the Lower House), and the Legislative Council (the Upper House) • Journalism flourished in the weeklies like the Bulletin, Boomerang and the Worker, which reported the early battles of the trade union movement • Unionism and self dependence contributed to the formation of a Commonwealth and Federation in 1901.
