Melbourne was settled by a native born Australian John Batman, who actually started a settlement "illegally".
Batman wished to open up new pastureland and promote the growth of the colonies. He applied for land in the Westernport Bay area of southern Australia, now Victoria, but was refused his request. In May 1835, he explored Port Phillip Bay, looking for suitable sites to settle. On 6 June 1835, he signed a 'treaty' with the Aborigines, which enabled him to have free access to almost 250,000 hectares of land. Two months later, Governor Bourke declared Batman's treaties invalid, and issued a proclamation warning off him and his supporters as trespassers on crown land.
