The squatters became the land barons of Australia, with huge mansions and aristocratic pretensions. They formed the power base of conservative governments and an elite social clique in the city and country. Often hard, sometimes ingenious and occasionally scoundrels, the squatters formed the backbone of Australia's rural development.
