Mr. George Dyason, head of Dyason's London party of settlers, arrived at Torrens River in June 1820. Originally they were to have shared a location with Wait's party, however they remained at Lushington, which Dyason named after Dr Lushington the MP for his constituency in England.
By September Rev William Boardman, the Anglican Chaplin had started a school in a loaned marquee at Bathurst and the Dyson children were among the first to attend.
In March the following year he was among the first people to acquire a stand in the newly formed Bathurst when he took transfer of lot 44.
By May he had been appointed Field Cornet for Bathurst and shortly after he also took on the position as Postmaster. He held these duties until the beginning of 1822 when he resigned. However as it was found difficult to find a replacement Dyason was re appointed to both posts a month later. George Dyason was among those who had stated their desire to form "The Kowie Navigation Company" at the Kowie.
By February 1824, Dyason was Field Cornet of Grahamstown as well as being postmaster for the town.
At a sale held at Port Kowie in March 1824, he purchased one of the 25 building lots that were offered for sale, thus becoming one of the first property owners in the new township.
On 15 December 1826 George Dyason was granted land which he called Rokeby Park, after Lord Rokeby in Kent, England.
In September 1836 he took the position as Resident Magistrate at Bathurst at £100 per annum.
In March 1842 George Dyason offered Rokeby Park and Lushington for sale.
