NSW wanted federation but the other colonial entities didn't as they saw it as NSW wanting to take control of them.

What a great question, reefer!
Was it the finalisation of the draft of the Australian Constitution on the steam ship Lucinda?
The Premier of Queensland, Sir Samuel Griffith, had travelled to Sydney on the Queensland government steamship Lucinda to participate in the federation Convention. During the Easter weekend of 27/29 March 1891, Griffith made a cruise in the Lucinda to the estuary of the Hawkesbury River, taking with him Kingston and Barton, and picking up Inglis Clark on the Sunday. During the cruise, this drafting sub-committee finalised the draft of the 1891 Constitution.
Through its association with the Australian Constitution, the Lucinda has become a symbol of Australian democracy.

Yep first convention on federation but the 1890 clue was what sunk that thought for me ..
Bingo CHRIS!...Sorry Nucopia...I thought it would be unfair of me to expect people to deal with a wrong date.However there was a meeting with respect to the federation in Brisbane...in 1890.on board the Lucinda as well. I think that Deakin gave his famous 'Tenterfield Address' on his way back from that meeting. As i can best recall there was only two or three Reps from colonies who attended that meeting.So it was with that in mind that i gave the wrong date.... :8 I was asking the question based on what i could remember of the Australian History we did at school..like in 1963!...and I should have referred to some official reference with respect to the facts. abloP was hot on my tail...but just did'nt make the right connection...sorry mate!...I shall therefore defer to Dr. Duck who was right on the money

NO probs, Reefer, I once lead everyone up the garden path with a question that was not Australian. I had to hang my head in shame!
