Lockier Burges (Australian politician)

The three brothers sailed for the Swan River Colony on board the Warrior, arriving in March 1830.

In 1849, Lockier and William Burges moved to the Champion Bay area, leaving Samuel at Tipperary.

Burges, in partnership with Edward Hamersley, Samuel Pole Phillips and Bartholomew Urban Vigors, making up the pastoral group called The Cattle Company, were granted grazing leases over 60,000 acres (24,000 ha) of land along the Irwin River and Greenough Flats, securing for the company a virtual monopoly of land in the area.

Amongst the poorly known species he provided was one of the pied honeyeater Certhionyx variegatus and the type specimen of the grey falcon Falco hypoleucos.

[7] On 14 January 1879, Lockier Burges was nominated to the Western Australian Legislative Council.
