	Port Phillip Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some fifteen of the leading colonists of Tasmania (formerly Van Diemens Land) formed a company in early 1835 with a view to purchasing a large tract of land from the aborigines on the unsettled south coast of Australia, helping found Melbourne and the future State of Victoria in the process.
		Batman’s treaty with the aborigines of Port Phillip is the only example of any settlers (official or unofficial) giving recognition to the rights of the aborigines to the land.
		The claims of the Port Phillip Association were only recognised to the extent of £7,000, allowed as a reduction on the purchase price of land bought by the association at public auction.

	Picturesque Atlas - Melbourne - Port Phillip
		The western side of Port Phillip presents merely a long low line of., sandy beach, with a broken ridge of scrub ; the land in the rear is - level, but the background is relieved by the picturesquely irregular outline of Station Peak and the isolated range to which it belongs.
		Point Nepean, which forms the eastern head, is a sandy mamelon terminating a narrow tongue of land composed of hilly dunes, bare on their sea-faces, but clothed inland with a compact mass of ti-tree scrub, the roots of which bind the soil together and consolidate its shifting particles.
		Most of the men on the piers and in the streets have the fresh complexions of those who are habituated to feel the sea breeze and the salt spray beating on their bronzed faces, and they turn quick glances of the eye skyward, as is natural to persons who are closely observant of the weather.
