Closer Settlement at Cobden Grass Tree Plains

A scathing critique of the Closer Settlement Board over reclamation efforts near Cobden in Heytesbury forest. It details 60,000 acres with only 1000 acres tackled, cost overruns, failed settlement attempts, and mismanagement of land valued at £3 10s per acre for reclaimed blocks. It notes four blocks occupied, with settlers living cheaply in inadequate huts as the land regresses.
