Objective
Some fifteen of the leading colonists of Tasmania (at the time called Van Diemens Land) formed a company in early 1835 with a view to purchasing a large tract of land from indigenous people who lived on the south coast of Australia, and to there establish a settlement. Gellibrand prepared deeds for the transfer of an interest in the land and which provided for the payment of an annual tribute. John Batman took copies of the deed with him when he went into Port Phillip in May 1835, accompanied by some white servants and aborigines from New South Wales.
