Area Settlement Schemes.

---

LOCATION:  Katandra District in North Central Victoria ,Australia.

There were two main settlement schemes,

1. The Soldiers Settlement from 1919.
2. The Closer Settlement from 1926.

We are looking to contact  the families involved with the settlement of these farms. Many of the English families returned to England in the early 1930's, other farmers moved to other parts of Australia and some stayed on in the area.
