The order, form, substance, and American (ie., federal) flavour of the Australian Constitution owed more to Andrew Inglis Clark than any other single individual. Sir William Deane, the former Governor-General, has fairly dubbed him 'the primary architect of our constitution'.

On Sunday I wandered around Battery Point, Hobart, looking for ‘Rosebank’, Clarke's home in Battery Point, but I could not find it. I didn't really know where to look. I did not even know whether it still existed. Latter I came across this website when I was at the Qantas Club and started exploring this 1902 text on the Australian nation.
