10:50 If you have 11 members in the House of Representatives and 10 Senators in the Federal Parliament in the early 1960s then yes it is a big state with a capital city that already had 600,000 in population by the mid-1930s. Brisbane only reached 600,000 in the mid-1960s but was established as a penal settlement in 1823 despite being older than Adelaide and Melbourne. Then again you obviously have to take into account that it wasn't initially designated to function in the role of a capital city. The Northern Territory only had one member in the House of Representatives and three senators in 1983 so it is obviously a long journey to statehood following separation from South Australia.

My Great great great grandfather was on the Buffalo👍 Sounds like this was narrated by the late Ron Sullivan.
