  1. Why don't you look it up for yourself?  That way you may learn something!


  2. If you were to look at a map of Australia, you would note that the large cities are on the ocean without exception.  That might suggest the main means of transportation to you during the 19th century.  

  3. Same as anywhere else.  Ships, boats, horses, railways, wagons, coaches, buggies, sulkies, bullock and horse drays.  At the end of the 19th century Shearers, an engineering firm in Adelaide built a road steam wagon and the first cars came to Australia in about 1895.  The Shearer steam wagon still exists.  There were also traction engines, which are like a big tractor but used steam engines, these would have been here by the 1890s.
