Settlement of "Burnewang Estate"Print Page 
The Minister for Lands (Mr Galvin) announced in Bendigo last week that he had signed an order-in-council for the compulsory acquisition of the Burnewang Estate, at Elmore, for utilisation in the soldier settlement plan. The Burnewang Estate is one of the best known properties north of Bendigo. The Minister stated he felt confident that with the construction of the Eppalock Weir there would be no more suitable area for soldier settlement than this Elmore property. Experts had reported that the land in the Elmore area was admirably suited for irrigation purposes, and compared more than favorably with other areas reserved for irrigation purposes.
