In 1841, Henry Dendy purchased of land approximately 12 km south-east of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The land was purchased from the Crown for one pound an acre under the terms of the short-lived Special Survey regulations.〔 Dendy's Special Survey formed the basis for the settlement of Brighton. It covered the area now bounded by North Road; South Road; on the west by the Port Phillip Bay; and on the east by East Boundary Road. It includes: all of the Melbourne suburbs of Bentleigh, Brighton East, Ormond; and parts of Brighton, Bentleigh East and McKinnon.〔〔 The Special Survey regulations determined that the land should:〔 *be at least five miles (8 km) from Melbourne: North Roard runs east-west on the survey Section line five miles (8 km) south of Batman's Hill *have no more than two miles (3 km) of water-frontage: South Road runs east-west two miles (3 km) south of North Road *have an area of eight square miles: so East Boundary Road runs north-south four miles (6 km) from the coast As the alignment of East Boundary Road is determined by the coastline, it does not lie on a survey Section line and therefore isn't aligned with the Melbourne one-mile (1.6 km) survey grid. ==References== 〔 〔 〕 〔 〕 〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dendy's Special Survey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
