Australian Education 1788–1900 is a detailed study of the development of public education in colonial Australia, focusing on the relationship between church, state, schooling, and public policy.

A. G. Austin traces the growth of education from the early colonial period through to the end of the nineteenth century, examining how religious, political, social, and government forces shaped schooling across Australia. The book pays particular attention to the struggle between denominational and state-controlled education, and the eventual emergence of public education systems.
