What two men are famous for founding Victoria?

The founding of Victoria can be attributed primarily to native born Australian John Batman. On 6 June 1835, he signed a 'treaty' with the Aborigines, giving him free access to almost 250,000 hectares of land. Despite the fact that in August that year, Governor Bourke declared Batman's treaties invalid, and issued a proclamation warning off him and his syndicate as trespassers on crown land, the foundling settlement of Melbourne remained, and flourished. John Fawkner was another early pioneer, and rival to John Batman for the title of Melbourne's founder. Fawkner arrived in Melbourne just after Batman started the settlement, and was quick to establish his name in the new township. Another contender for the title of Founder of Victoria is Lieutenant-Governor David Collins who was ordered to establish a settlement on the southern coast. In October 1803, Collins and his expedition landed at the site where Sorrento now stands on the Mornington Peninsula, naming it Port King. The settlement was not a success for a variety of reasons and, hearing of better land and timber in Van Diemen's Land, Collins moved most of the settlement across Bass Strait, establishing Hobart.


Who is John Batman?

John Batman was an Australian farmer and businessman, and the founder of Melbourne, now the capital of Victoria, Australia. In 1835, Batman signed a treaty with Aborigines entitling him to 250,000 hectares of land in Port Phillip Bay (where Melbourne is now situated). In August that year, Governor Bourke declared Batman's treaties invalid, and issued a proclamation warning off him and his syndicate as trespassers on crown land. Despite the attempts at government intervention, the foundling settlement of Melbourne remained, and flourished. Batman's place in Australian history is unique for several reasons. He was the only 19th century white to acknowledge that Aborigines owned land. He set out to undertake an annual rental for what was then a reasonable amount of food and goods, rather than buy it from them for a pittance. Further, he is the only native-born Australian to have founded a state capital city.

The mre successful settlement which later went on to become Melbourne was established by John Batman in 1836.


What did John Batman do?

John Batman is regarded as the founder of Victoria, and he was the first settler in the Melbourne area. John Batman was born in Parramatta, Sydney, in 1801. As a native born Australian, Batman was interested in opening up new pastureland in order to develop the growth of the colonies. He applied for land in the Westernport Bay area of southern Australia, now Victoria, but was not granted any. In May 1835, he led a syndicate calling themselves the 'Port Phillip Association' to explore Port Phillip Bay, looking for suitable sites for a settlement. On 6 June 1835, he signed a 'treaty' with the Aborigines, giving him free access to almost 250,000 hectares of land. In August that year, Governor Bourke declared Batman's treaties invalid, and issued a proclamation warning off him and his syndicate as trespassers on crown land.
