July 1, 1900, in the outskirts of Sydney.
The meeting yesterday made it clear to Arthur just how backwards Australia is in every aspect. Although he had made detailed plans with the various ministers and mobilized up to thirty million pounds of funds, he probably wouldn't see the results until at least a year later.
But the good news was that after the cabinet meeting, Arthur would have some time to relax.
That wasn't to say he really had nothing to do, but compared to the previous busy days, he had a lot more free time on his hands.
What Arthur didn't expect was that on the very first day he was invited by Hunter Steward to the outskirts of Sydney as his private winery was about to be completed.
As Roger Joseph Albert, who previously managed Arthur's assets alongside Hunter Steward, had become the Finance Minister of Australia, the full responsibility of managing Arthur's private assets now fell on Hunter Steward.
