Transfer of Early Land RecordsWe have recently received an exciting addition to our collection, with the accession of 12 new record series, comprising 55 large volumes from the Land Services Group. The series include pastoral lease field diagrams (1851), early surveys of mineral claims and details of lease boundaries and improvements made in the 1880s. Bill Watt, Manager, Roads and Crowns Support Section, says: 'They [the volumes] are an irreplaceable set of records detailing the first occupation of the landscape and the pastoral activity in relation to a particular area. The records also show vegetation patterns at the time and other topographical information. They include some wonderfully colourful hand-drawn pre-1900 plans'. Among the earliest drawings are several by John McDouall Stuart who was working as a surveyor before he set out on his explorations of the interior of the continent in 1858.
