You might think of Ping-Pong as a leisure-time hobby played in dingy garages and billiard clubs â a paddle in one hand and a beer in the other. But itâs a high-energy sport (yes, thatâs right, a sport) thatâs played by hundreds of millions of serious athletes worldwide. Sure, Ping-Pong, or table tennis in competitive circles, is a fast-paced, fun game to play with your drinking buddies in their rec rooms.
A combination of the separate constitutions developed by six British colonies (now the six States of New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia) led to the development of the Australian Constitution, which came into effect upon federation in 1901.
It was also intended to establish English law in the colony with the establishment of NSW criminal and civil courts. However, there were significant departures from English law when the first cases were heard in the courts. The first civil case heard in Australia, in July 1788, was brought by a convict couple.estern Australia was established in 1827. Major Edmund Lockyer established a small British settlement at King Georges Sound (Albany) and in 1829 the new Swan River Colony was officially proclaimed. Captain James Stirling was its first Governor.
