South Australia and New South Wales legislated the resumption of certain pastoral areas for re-allocation as primarily wheat-based farmlands that would provide the heavier rural population sought by politicians. The need to reward soldiers for service in the First World War became a major stimulus to expansion. The authorities blamed the settlers when the new wheat frontier proved to be expensive. Even the soldier settlers ultimately achieved a success rate comparable to that of the civilian closer settlers
