In Victoria, then the most rapidly advancing of all the colonies, the Bishopric of Ballarat, in the gold district, was founded in 1875, to relieve the diocese of Melbourne. Finally, the vast diocese of Brisbane was similarly subdivided by the creation of the Sees of North Queensland in 1878, and Rockhampton in 1892. Nor should it be forgotten that from the Australian Episcopate was derived in 1841 the Bishopric of New Zealand, with the six Sees which have sub- sequently grown out of it. It was ...nearly half a century from the first colonization before the one See of Australia was founded in 1836; but it had developed into twenty-two when the next half-century had elapsed. Churches and clergy had multiplied at least tenfold, and the change from the rough, homel}' wooden church to cathedrals, of various degrees of dignity and even of splendour, in all the dioceses was ^ This bishopric is notable as having been founded by the munifi- cence of a single colonist (the Hon. John Campbell), who had already largely contributed to some of the earlier Sees of New South Wales.
