The High Commissioners: Australia's Representatives in the United Kingdom, 1910–2010
The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr Smith, launched the latest departmental historical publication in London on 18 February 2010.
The High Commissioners: Australia's Representatives in the United Kingdom, 1910 2010 marks the centenary of the posting of the first Australian High Commissioner in London, so beginning what is today Australia’s oldest diplomatic mission.
In 1910, when Sir George Reid was appointed its first High Commissioner in London, Australia was a self-governing but not yet sovereign state and the Australian Governor-General remained the most important channel of communication between the Australian and United Kingdom governments until the late 1920s.
