Land Selection In Queensland
The process of land selection in Queensland in Australia began in 1860 and continued under a series of land acts in subsequent years. When Britain claimed possession of Australia, it did so on the basis of terra nullius (that the land belonged to nobody) and did not acknowledge that Indigenous people had any ownership over the land.

Land was considered the Queensland colony’s greatest asset. Prosperity of the colony was measured according to the extent of land settlement. Rent from land leases was the colony’s largest revenue earner.
