	Swan River Colony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By 1832 the population of the colony had reached about 1,500, but the difficulty of clearing land to grow crops were so great that by 1850 the population had only increased to 5,886.
		Due to the slow growth, which in turn was felt to be due to the lack of manpower in establishing critical infrastructure, the colony finally agreed to receiving convict labour and on 1 June 1850 the first boatload of convicts arrived and work started on the construcion of the Convict Establishment.
		Their effect on the colony's economy was considerable and by 1869 the population had increased to 22,915.

	Land grants in the Swan River Colony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Swan River Colony, established in June 1829, was the only British colony in Australia established on the basis of land grants to settlers.
		Under the conditions stipulated by the Colonial Office, settlers would be granted land in proportion to the value of assets and labour that they brought to the colony.
		The vast amounts of land promised to settlers was so far out of proportion to the available good land that Stirling was obliged to limit the amount of river frontage per grant, forcing the Surveyor-General John Septimus Roe to grant long thin "ribbon" allotments each with a small amount of river frontage.
