aroused a sense of pride. Bell's Life, commenting on cricket
between Victoria and New South Wales in 1863, remarked:
"The competition was, or must be supposed to have been,
for honour alone. One side burned to retrieve for its
colony its original position of superiority; the other
to add another leaf to the crown of laurels it had won
for its fellow citizens". 8:249 (February 14 1863).

The argument that the environment could transform
Australians into a physically healthier type was to surface
in the Nature-Nurture debate in the early decades of the
twentieth-century. See C.L. Bacchi, "The Nature-Nurture
Debate in Australia, 1900-1914", Historical Studies, 19:75
(October 1980), 199-212.
