BiographyHistory

'Robert Dixon (1800-1858), surveyor and explorer, was born at Darlington, Durham, England, the son of John and Elizabeth Dixon. He arrived in Van Diemen's Land in May 1821 in the Westmoreland with his brother George. For two years they were employed by Edward Lord, in charge of his extensive stockyards. In 1823 each brother was granted 100 acres (40 ha) in the valley of the River Clyde and in 1824 each received an additional 200 acres (81 ha).' (adb.anu.edu.au/biography/dixon-robert-1981)
