The background of the South Australian cadastral system is traced emphasizing the original partitioning into Counties, Hundreds and Sections. The development of the Torrens system of land registration is briefly reviewed together with the growth of cadastral surveying to support that system. The problems and deficiencies of the existing surveying methodology are emphasized. This is the first of two articles examining reform in the South Australian cadastral survey system.
