Excerpt from Australia Its Land Laws and Settlement The Commonwealth of Australia, like the United States of America, is composed of federated territories, or States. Australia, though larger by 330 square miles than the great American Union, embraces the six States of: - The Governments of these States control the lands within their respective territories, are responsible for laws made concerning them, and for the administration of these laws. The Northern Territory is under the control of the Commonwealth. Though numerous laws relating to the public estate have been passed in each of the States, the object of all such legislation has been to settle an industrious population on the soil. The Governments of all the Australian States, realizing that the country's greatest need is the accession of a large and contented rural population, have of late years in framing the laws relating to Government or "Crown" lands, given paramount consideration to the interests of the man with limited capital. The terms and conditions under which he may acquire a farm have been made easy, the idea behind it being that when he decides to go on the land, he will find conditions so favorable that he will stay there. The genuine farmer who desires to obtain a sufficient area to keep himself and his family in decent circumstances will find that he will meet with the most liberal treatment in any of the Australian States. Free grants of land are not to be had in Australia except in Western Australia and Queensland, where, in some districts, areas up to 160 acres may be obtained on payment of survey and other fees, and on performance of certain conditions of residence and improvement.
