Born in Glasgow in 1818, Arthur Macalister emigrated to Australia in 1839. He was appointed Clerk of Petty Sessions and Postmaster at Scone, New South Wales, in 1840. By 1850, he had been admitted as a solicitor and attorney.

He later settled in the Moreton Bay district (then part of New South Wales) and became actively involved in the movement for separation. In 1859, he was elected as a representative for Ipswich in the New South Wales Parliament.

A lengthy political career followed, culminating in his appointment as Premier of Queensland on three separate occasions.
