Campbell, Robert
Robert Campbell and William Clark were a pair of successful merchants who started their company in Calcutta. They were amongst the first merchants to supply the new colony in New South Wales. In 1798, Campbell erected a warehouse and wharf on the western side of Circular Quay, Sydney Cove. Campbell is often referred to as the 'father of Australian commerce'.
