Description
Lieutenant Colonel Lachlan Macquarie arrived in New South Wales with his regiment in 1809 to re-assert control in the aftermath of the 'rum rebellion'. His troops replaced the NSW Corps and the rebellion's leaders, Major George Johnston and John Macarthur, were sent to England for courts martial. Macquarie had a new vision for the colony, treating convicts with sympathy and instituting a range of important public works.
