The Bank of Australia was established by John Macarthur and business associates on 8th June 1826. After a healthy start the bank failed on 2nd March 1843. The liquidation of the Bank of Australia resulted in the remaining assets of the bank being disposed of by lottery. Plans for a second lottery in April, 1849 were objected to by the government and it did not take place.
