DOUTTA GALLA PARISH MAP

Lady Franklin bought section 23 of the parish of Doutta Galla, known as St John's,the grantee returning home in shame after his corruption was exposed by J.P.Fawkner.

Eyre Evans Kenny's "Camp Hill" was at the south east corner of the parish of Tullamarine, bounded originally on the west by today's Broadmeadows Rd, but later by Bulla Rd (now Melrose Drive) and was immediately north of Lady Franklin's estate.

The Doutta Lee estate, crown allotment 22F Doutta Galla, was bounded by Parer Rd, part of Nomad Rd (originally Treadwell Rd), a line just north of Fraser St and Thomas St. It was granted to A. Wright, and James and Thomas Crighton as shown on the map.
On Melway map 15-16, the location of "Doutta Lee" is roughly 15Jj7-8 to 16 B7.


Patrick Phelan's Estate, "Spring Park" was crown allotment 17A immediately south of the western half of Doutta Lee. His co-grantee and father-in-law, Owen Connor, had returned home.

A. Wight's name was ARCHIBALD, and he and the two Crightons had been issued a deed for the 147 acres as tenants in common in 1848.

There had been a previous attempt to sell Doutta Lee in 1858. This time J.F.L. Foster and Thomas Napier are mentioned as neighbours. Mr Foster's private road which gave access from the Deep Creek road is a mystery unless the 200 yards was to the Doutta Lee homestead and it was near today's Hansen Reserve.
