Histórico
The NSW Temperance Alliance was founded in 1876 by Rev F.B. Boyce, Rector of Holy Trinity, Orange. Initially called The Alliance, they campaigned for Sunday closing of hotels, temperance lessons in schools and local option. When Rev Boyce moved to Sydney, he continued the work under the name Local Option League, then the Prohibition League, and finally the NSW Temperance Alliance. The patron was the Archbishop of Sydney, and the executive committee included representatives from the major Protestant denominations, as well as the Business Women's Temperance League, the Independent Order of Rechabites and the Women's Christian Temperance Union. Archdeacon R.B.S. Hammond was also a prominent member and President 1928-1931. It is now known as the Drug Awareness Council.
