Marsden and the Mutton Industry in early Australia
The article traces Reverend Samuel Marsden's role in developing Australia’s mutton industry from 1794, noting his goal to improve sheep for meat and wool. It cites his model farm at Mamre, worming sheep numbers to 1416 on 2908 acres by 1806, Cox’s early wool and road-building contributions, and a dramatic rise in sheep totals from about 6000 in 1800 to 290,000 by 1821 and 61,000,000 in NSW by 1891. It highlights droughts, rabbits, and the sector’s resilience after 1929, with modern NSW flocks of 55,000,000 sheep and over 1 billion pounds of grease wool in a season, exporting to UK, France, Japan, the US, and others.
