Try the rei or api or the stanton library.
I'm interested in data.
For Brisbane there isn't much around from the early 1800's Areas I have researched have information about the original subdivisions of larger blocks, going rate was around 1 pound per acre in the 1850's, 1860's, can track these values through to modern day land sales and look at the compound growth.
Interesting exercise, not sure how practical it is for making money but it's fun to do.
Probably a good a place as any for doing your own independent research would be: http://trove.nla.gov.au/ where you can browse the Sydney Gazette from 1803 and have a lot of fun!
Multi century studies are around the net from other countries such as Holland and Norway.
