    Squatters, merchants and mariners: an historical geography of Gipps' Land 1841-1851
    Lennon, Jane Louise ( 1975)
    This thesis is a study of some of the processes which created a new geography in a particular region of Australia. Though localised in space it has a wider relevance for the study of its time, for this regional settlement was not an isolated, unique expansion but part of a nation-wide and world-wide movement. And though localised in time, it has a wider relevance for the study of this particular region because the patterns established in these few years set a framework which endures in many respects to the present. The study presents a reconstruction of the geography of a region for the first decade of its settlement, its pioneering phase, by tracing the establishment, growth and change in themes which created the regional character. By looking at the region as an open system, the influence of external forces is studied to see what effect these had on regional development.
