Hi Pam, Think it is the old measurements, fractions of an "Acre" of land, that is "Rood" and "Perches" (think that is how you spell it).

A rood is a bit under 4 metres in length. A perch is a little over 5 metre in length. A perch is also a measurement of area and is equal to about 25 square metres. A rood is also a measurement of area and is about a quarter of an acre or about 1000 sq metres Regards Chris -----Original Message----- From: aus-vic-geelong-district-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-vic-geelong-district-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Sue Holloway Sent: Thursday, 14 January 2010 7:04 PM To: aus-vic-geelong-district@rootsweb.com Subject: [GEELONG] Land Files Hi Pam, Think it is the old measurements, fractions of an "Acre" of land, that is "Rood" and "Perches" (think that is how you spell it).
