Port Essington and distant colonies dominate the colonial report
The British Colonies report surveys emigration and land sales in Australia and ports like Port Essington. It notes labor shortages, high land prices in some colonies, and spurring emigration to the United States. Port Essington’s prospects are explored with detailed layouts, stock, and crops. It also covers Canada, New Zealand, and Mauritius, assessing land policies, arrivals, and public works.
