The following is from Greg Campbell’s tree:

In 1887 Henry was unsuccessful in obtaining a lease over 794 acres of land:
Application for Licences … Not Granted
Application no. 232: Hy J Deason; 794 acres 0 rods 0 perches; Parish: Moliagul.

However, in 1888 Henry was successful in obtaining a lease over 20 acres:
Application for Licences … Approved
Henry Deason; Parish: Moliagul; 20 acres 0 rods 0 perches; grant payment: £1/1/0; Certificate fee: £0/0/10; assurance: £2/1/5; payable: Dunolly 1493.

In an article titled “The Finding of the Welcome Stranger – a Historical Nugget. Dunolly – Thursday, 6 August 1896” (probably an extract from a newspaper article of that date, publisher unknown) it mentions:
One Mr J H Deason – has made a home for himself & remained in Moliagul.”

Note: “J H” should have read “H J”.
