In 1829, Captain Charles Fremantle was sent to take formal possession of the remainder of New Holland which had not already been claimed for Britain under the territory of New South Wales. This was so that the French could not make a claim on the land. There had already been some French exploration in the area, and the English wanted to be able to claim the entire continent.

Why did Victorian government decide to offer a reward?

A reward was offered for the discovery of gold. Payable gold had already been discovered in New South Wales. Victoria had pushed for self-government and separation from NSW, and now the government was keen to establish its own source of wealth. It was believed that, if gold was discovered within 200 miles of Melbourne, people would flock to the new colony, and Victoria would become a wealthy colony in its own right. To this end, Governor La Trobe assembled a Gold Discovery Committee on 9 June 1851, and offered a £200 reward to anyone who found payable amounts of gold.
