Donald McLean (pastoralist)
Donald McLean (1780 – 11 October 1855) was a pastoralist in the early days of the British colony of South Australia, remembered as the colony's first wheat grower. History McLean, a Scotsman from Duisky, near Blaich, Ardgour, Argyleshire, was in July 1837 an early investor with the South Australian Company; for his £1000 he was entitled to select one " town acre", one surveyed section near the city, and the option on one future "special survey" further away. His family were once substantial landowners, but he was reduced to the status of tenant farmer. He was clearly not without means however; £1000 would be equivalent to several million dollars today. The 1836 famine in Scotland which led to one of the Highland Clearances may have been a factor in this decision, and to live in the new province. He and his large family emigrated on the ''Navarino'', falsifying their ages and occupations in order to qualify for free passage. They arriving at Holdfast Bay on 6 December ...

Donald is a masculine given name derived from the Gaelic name ''Dòmhnall''.. This comes from the Proto-Celtic *''Dumno-ualos'' ("world-ruler" or "world-wielder").
