| Notes: |
The road that led to the inauguration of the Australian nation on 1 January 1901 was by no means smooth traveling. Alfred Deakin later noted that the Federation "must always appear to have been secured by a series of miracles." Here is an entertaining view of Federation through the lives of the key individuals involved.
Charles Cameron Kingston; Samuel Griffith; Andrew Inglis Clark; George Reid; Henry Parkes; Edmund Barton; Alfred Deakin; Robert Randolf Garran; Catherine Helen Spence; E.W. O'Sullivan; J.W.R. Clarke; Tom Roberts; Mandy Martin.
