Abstract
Sydney's 1879 International Exhibition in the Garden Palace—the building modelled on Paxton's Crystal Palace for the Great Exhibition of 1851—was originally intended as an agricultural exhibition; the expansion into an international exhibition of arts, crafts and manufactures from America and European and Asian countries eventually brought a revolution in the Australian world-view: from being a primary producing country servicing the manufactures of distant England to the beginning of independent industry. With this came a revolution in technical education—an improvement in local training for the trades, crafts and commerce, followed by new developments in higher education.
