Victorian push for land settlement and rail links in Reform policy
The Victorian Parliament opens with plans to settle Crown lands via new light railways from Ouyen toward Pinnaroo and an Ultima extension toward Euston. Projects would unlock about 1,000,000 acres for wheat and 120,000 more for settlement, with resumed private land purchases and large irrigation programs across the state. The Small Holdings Act aids settlers with land grants and stipends, aiming to place 500 more families in two years.
