ROYAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF VICTORIA 19 QUEEN STREET. MELBOURNE. C.l 62 7052 15 Kett St., Nunawading, 878 7720 3 December 1966 Rev. Gerard Tucker, Brotherhood of St.Lawrence, LARA. Dear Sir, I am advised that you are a direct descendant of Rev.Horace Finn Tucker, sometime of ^.Christ Church, South Yarra, author of The Hew Arcadia, and founder of the tucker village Settlements. As an historian I have been interested for some years in his work. In 1964 a series of articles I had written on the Tucker settlements of thd nineties appeared in the Educational Magazine. More recently I have dealt with the general subject of village settlements in an address to the Royal Historical Society of Victoria( a list of settlements isssued by me on that occasion is enclos ed for your interest). Since reading The Hew Arcadia I realize how little T know of the social movements and idealism of the Utopians of the nineties. Some clues to the way men were thinking then may be included in the other writings-if any-of H.F.Tucker or in biographical details xbbl relating to him. Have you any such material that could be borrowed, perused and returned? I have gleaned from Christ Church all possible in the Church journals but still do not know such elementary details as date of birth and death, education, travels, friends, interests etc of Rev. H.F.Tucker. Believe me this is not idle prying- for the man's social experiments and writings belong to history. I knew, of course, of the Brotherhood's village settlement at Carrum Bbossh Downs, but not till recently, did your address come my way and the possible connexion pointed out. Historians have certaihly neglected a man of insight and imagination. If you can help my researches I should be most grateful. Yours sincerely, L.J.Blake,President, R.H.S.V VILLAGE SETTLEMENTS Arapiles Korumburra Baimsdale-Eagle Point Korumburra (Strzeleckie) Bairnsdale-Raymond Island Linton (Scrubby Creek) Balnarring Macedon and Woodend Barmah Mardan Beenak Marungi Beethang Meeniyan Blackwood and Trentham Miepoll Bullarto (Lyonville) Mirboo North Bullarto (Section B) Mirboo South Bumberrah (Swan Reach) Moe (Childers) Bunbartha Moe Syramp Bunaalong Monbulk Colbinabbin Mooroolbark Coleraine Muckatah Coliban Murrabit West Condah Swamp Nayook Cooma Neerim and Jindivick Coongulmerang Neerim North Coongulmerang and Wuk Wuk Neerim East Corop Newham Darlimurla Rosedale Darnum( Mi zp ah) Sale Dimboola and Wail Sarsfield Drouin (.Township) Scoresby Drouin est Shepparton Echuca Tarrawarra Egerton Tarwin French Island Tatong (Kelfeera Swamp) Fumina Tonimbuk East Ganoo Ganoo Toolamba Gracedale Tyntynder (Mallee) Kamarooka Wallan Wallan Kaniva Wanalta Katamatite Warburton Kialla Yalca Kiata (Salisbury) Yarragon.

Parish and Township Plan Numbers
Parish and Township plan numbers This is a complete list of Victorian parishes and townships, together with plan numbers assigned by the Victorian Department of Crown Lands and Survey at some point between 1950 and 1970. The list has been reproduced from the Vicmap Reference Tables on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's land information website. Browse the list or use a keyword search to identify the plan number/s for a location. The plans are listed alphabetically. Townships and parishes are inter-sorted on the list. Some entries refer to locations within parishes or townships; these entries may be duplicated. The plan number can be used to locate copies of plans that PROV holds in the series VPRS 16171 Regional Land Office Plans Digitised Reference Set. For example, using the Search within a Series page on the PROV online catalogue with series number '16171' and the text '5030' will return the specific plans relating to the township of Ballarat. In this case, searching for 'Ballaarat' by name will return al the plans in the Ballarat land district, covering much of central and western Victoria. PROV does not hold copies of plans for the locations highlighted in pale yellow below. In most cases this is because parish-level plans were not created for areas such as national parks, where there were few land transactions to record. Plans showing these locations can be downloaded from the landata website under the section 'Central Plan Office Records'. 5001 Township of Aberfeldy 2016 Parish of Angora 2001 Parish of Acheron 2017
