This article analyses the first years of the land order system of immigration that dominated Queensland’s settlement as a colony. Queensland issued land orders worth £30 per adult to fare-paying British and Irish immigrants who were mechanics, agriculturalists and people with modest amounts of capital. This form of immigration was facilitated through the work of an Emigration Commissioner – later an Agent-General – based in the British Isles. Henry Jordan held these positions in the period 1861–6. The article argues that land orders only partly met their intended outcomes, but that Jordan’s activities were essential for the scheme’s limited success.

建立一个新的殖民地：亨利乔丹、土地令和昆士兰移民，1861-7

本文分析了作为殖民地主导昆士兰定居点的移民土地秩序系统的最初几年。昆士兰向支付票价的英国和爱尔兰移民发放了每名成年人价值 30 英镑的土地令，这些移民是机械师、农业家和拥有少量资本的人。这种形式的移民是通过驻在不列颠群岛的移民专员（后来成为总代理）的工作促成的。亨利乔丹在 1861-6 年间担任这些职位。文章认为，土地订单仅部分实现了预期结果，但约旦的活动对于该计划的有限成功至关重要。
