South Australia. It's history is very different to that of New South Wales. South Australia is the Free State: it was never a penal colony. People did not go there in chains. They were not thrashed in the streets or forced into servitude. South Australia was first and foremost home to free settlers - and although much smaller than the other States it has long been a beacon of democracy. The South Australian parliament is one of the world's oldest. South Australian women were the first![]()
