*'''In 1831''', when land grants were halted, disposing of land by auction was introduced. This system created new records, including records of lands '''leased by auction, registers, and applications.''' As Australian settlement began, no commercial or industrial establishments existed. Availability of vast areas of land gave rise to what became '''the largest commercial effort in Australia: the grazing of cattle, sheep, and horses'''. The lands used for this purpose are known as '''pastoral lands'''. These lands were seldom alienated (sold or granted) but were licensed and leased, which allowed individuals to use the lands while the Crown retained ownership. | *'''In 1831''', when land grants were halted, disposing of land by auction was introduced.

*'''Licenses'''. Settlers were permitted to occupy Crown lands for grazing purposes if they obtained a license that could be renewed annually. The first of these licenses was the Ticket of Occupation, which was granted in about 1820. These licenses gave owners rights to grazing land within two miles of their residence. Later, depasturing licenses gave owners rights to the vacant Crown lands beyond the limits of the owners’ homes. (Today, depasturing licenses can be used as census substitutes.)

*'''Leases'''. As the wool industry progressed, squatters began to illegally overrun Crown lands to pasture their sheep. In 1836 a '''squatter''' was allowed the use of his "run" if he paid an annual licensing fee. In 1847, the Crown instituted a lease system which offered '''a more secure occupancy for the squatter'''. Leasing allowed the squatter to legally occupy the land for longer than a year and, if desired, to buy it at a fixed price. Records dealing with this period include '''leases and squatters directories'''. | *'''Leases'''.
