Australia's second oldest company, The Australian Gas Light Company, was established by private interests in New South Wales on 7 September 1837 to light the streets of Sydney with coal gas.
The first gas street lights were turned on in 24 May 1841 to celebrate the birthday of Queen Victoria.
By March 1843 there were 165 gas lamps in the city - 14 Government lights, 11 Corporation lamps, 106 Publicans' lights, and 34 Private lamps.
The rest of the people used traditional oil lamps which were to remain as the predominant source of lighting both industrially and domestically until the arrival of electricity at the turn of the century.
