The Selectors 
(and some Early Settlers)


    Government legislation in  the 1870's opened up the way for the average person to select up to 320 acres of farming land for a reasonably small initial outlay, and pay this selection off over a period of time. This saw vast areas of the Goulburn Valley selected. Many 21st century Katandra and District residents are descendants of those early selectors.
