Unwin's Special Survey
In 1841, Frederic Wright Unwin, a Sydney solicitor, purchased 5,120 acres or eight square miles of land approximately 10 km north-east of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The land was purchased from the Crown for one pound an acre under the terms of the short-lived Special Survey regulations.
Unwin's Special Survey covered the area now bounded by the Yarra River, Koonung Creek, Church Rd and Templestowe Road/Foote St/Reynolds Rd.
It includes all of the Melbourne suburb of Bulleen, most of Templestowe Lower and Doncaster and the parts of Templestowe
