On January 13th, 1908, Arthur had a delightful birthday party at Sydney Palace, and at the same time, turned 26 years old.
It seemed like just yesterday that he had arrived in Australia, but in the blink of an eye, eight years had already passed.
Unable to do anything about the passage of time, Arthur could only focus more attention and energy on the development of the country, and use his whole life to create a powerful nation, at least not making his journey in vain.
These few days, congratulations from all the officials have been pouring in, and if it were not for the high standards of Arthur's banquet, even more people would be clamoring to attend.
At least in Australasia, the royal family is the most dazzling presence, the most powerful, prestigious, and wealthy family in the Kingdom.
On January 7th, Arthur received Grant Wilson, the head of the Unity Party, at Sydney Palace and inquired about the party's current size and plans.
