John Batman explored in the Port Phillip Bay area, where the city of Melbourne now stands. He explored the region in 1835, even signing a "treaty" with the Aborigines to use their land. The treaty gave him free access to almost 250,000 hectares of land. Two months later, Governor Bourke declared Batman's treaties invalid, and issued a proclamation him off the crown land. However, despite the government's attempts to take control, the foundling settlement of Melbourne remained, and flourished.
