Copy of front page of an early Port Phillip newspaper. It includes several articles including the announcement of a new township called Little Eltham. The artcile is transcribed as follows: NEW TOWNSHIP OF LITTLE ELTHAM Adjoining the Government Township of Eltham on the Yarra River. Half-acre Allotments for Sale in the above Township, at 35s. each; Title—A Grant from the Crown to the Vendor. THE advertiser feels persuaded that to recommend the above property he need only state the three following undeniable facts: First.—The Diamond Creek, which yields a never failing supply of the purest water, runs through the whole length of the township. Second.—The boundary of the Government township reserve was fixed years back, when Melbourne itself was not expected to rise beyond a mere village and when the valuable building ground at Collingwood was sold in allotments containing about twenty-seven acre each. Third.—Immediately beyond the Government township the bank of the Yarra is so steep that water could with difficulty be obtained from the river; making it certain that the town will extend itself in the direction of the creek. The distance from Melbourne is about eleven miles in a straight line, and between 13 and 14 miles by road. Attention is particularly directed to the following, being the second article in the condition of sale—: That, to secure to the purchaser uninterrupted possession without the expense of a deed, an attested copy on parchment of the Crown’s Grant with the Vendors Receipt for the purchase money on the same sheet, will be given to each purchaser without charge. A plan is now on view, and the lots can be chosen at once. Application to be made to J. M. HOLLOWAY, “Red Boot,” Swanston-street, Opposite the Shepherd’s Arms N.B.—A plan of the property will be given to each purchaser.The announcement of J.M. Holloway's Little Eltham township in April 1851 is a significant event in the foundation of European settlement for the suburb of Eltham and its wider community today.Laminated front page and p2 (facsimile?)little eltham, newspaper, j m holloway, 1851, port phillip
