Description: Original land holder of [[Gawler Special Survey 1839|Gawler Special Survey]]. Please [https://www.flickr.com/photos/gawler_history/sets/72157644907276119 click here for images relating to John Sutton]. The Special Surveys were an exception to colonial land policy, which generally prohibited land acquisition prior to official surveying. Under this system, private individuals or consortia could finance the surveying of large tracts of unsurveyed land and subsequently claim priority selection within that area. The practice of Special Surveys ceased after 1846, when the British government determined that land should be made available for purchase by the general public rather than reserved for the wealthy elite.
