the australian agricultural company (founded 1824), had agreed to take over coal mining at the settlement of newcastle, from the convict miners that had commenced australia' s first mines in 1804. the company' s first mine, known as the' a' pit was located on' the hill'. a railway using iron rails from england was constructed commencing at the pit, down the hill to a coal - loading' staithe' at the river. one ton wagons of coal were rolled down the railway, connected by rope to empty wagons at the wharf, which were pulled up the slope as the loaded wagons descended. no physical evidence remains of the location of australia' s first railway .
on 10 december 1831 the australian agricultural company officially opened an inclined plane railway from its' a' pit to a wharf located at this spot. before a crowd of spectators, two wagons, each loaded with a ton of coal, descended the inclined plane from the pit mouth while two empty wagons were drawn up the plane by the descending weight of the full ones. the full wagons travelled along the level track to the end of the wharf where the first wagon dislodged its coal into the waiting vessel sophia jane, amid hearty cheers from all present .
the australian agricultural company (aaco or the company) was formed in london in april 1824. its purpose was to raise fine woolled sheep and sell wool on the london market. the formation of the company was supported by an act of parliament and a royal charter. its directors and major shareholders included directors of the bank of england, the east india company and members of parliament; with assigned convicts given the roles of shepherding and general labour. the company’s initial land grant was one million acres in new south wales plus two thousand acres in newcastle. after some uncertainty the land, in the colony, was in three blocks: 464, 640 acres between port stephens and the manning river (port stephens estate), 249, 600 acres on the liverpool plains west of willow tree (warrah) and 313, 298 acres at the peel river south of tamworth (goonoo goonoo). the aaco operated in four major nsw locations during the nineteenth century – port stephens, tamworth, quirindi, and newcastle – and from the last quarter of the century also in queensland and eventually in northern australia. its interests expanded to include wool, wheat, cattle, coal and land sales .

since a visit to australia about 20 years ago i have been trying to find out more about the foundation of the australian agricultural company in 1824. i was very surprised to learn during my visit that one of my family – william barton – went to australia in 1824 as secretary of the aac. i cannot find his name in relation to the company and would like to know more about him, year of birth etc. obviously it is not generally known that he was from ireland as he left for australia from england. one of his sons became australia’s first prime minister, and negotiated the commonwealth act in 1901. his name was sir edmund barton. i would appreciated any information you can give me from the aac archives. regards, hilary henry (nee barton )
