It was agitation in the border district and centred in Corowa, which after the
depression of the 1880's rekindled interest in federation.
The intense dislike of the customs duties was the main motivating force in the
organisation of the 1893 Corowa Federation Conference.
In 1895, the premier's conference acted upon proposals put at the Corowa
Conference and on January 1, 1901 the Commonwealth of Australia was proclaimed
and Corowa proudly claims the title of the "birthplace of federation".
Museum displays:
Reason for Australia becoming a federation and Corowa's involvement. Dr John
Quick's role in the federation.

drawn vehicles and saddlery as well as locally manufactured agricultural
implements.
Hosted federation walks held every first Sunday or by appointment.
