| More Information? |
View the relevant files [VPRS nnn] at the Public Record Office Victoria. These land files contain wonderful information concerning those who applied to lease the land, pay the rent and eventually own it outright. In many cases the rent was not able to be paid and someone else then took over the land. The files may contain:
- maps showing the land in question and adjoining owners
- crops being grown
- date of selection
- reasons for not paying the lease
- letters from adjoining owners
