in the Civilisation of Aborigines
Governor Macquarie’s Land Grants to Aborigines
Governor Macquarie introduced the practice of making land
grants to aborigines, and on the 31 August 1819 he granted thirty acres in the
district of Bathurst to a native named Colebee subject to the usual conditions
of quit rent and cultivation. He also promised a land grant to the chief of the
tribe at the South Creek.
