Excerpt from The Australian Commonwealth and Her Relation to the British Empire: An Address Delivered to the Canadian Club of Ottawa, at a Luncheon Given in the Chateau Laurier on Monday, 9th September, 1912 As to the resources of Australia, I think you all know pretty well what they are. We can grow anything, from the productions of th 3 colder climates to the productions of the tropical regions. We have a commerce which is expandiu at a phenomenal rate. We have untold stores of mineral wealth, and auriferous areas of many thou sands of square miles. Who can doubt that the dazzling discoveries of the past will be repeated? Then we have vast stores of coal, tin, copper, silver - the richest silver mines in the world, buried right in the heart of the continent. We all hate figures, but I do want to give you some figures which will incidentally show you what our resources are, beside showing what our recent progress has been.
