In the 1832 census John Crane was listed as a brick maker and labourer with Levey. John is recorded as making bricks where the Queens Gardens are today. On 6 January 1838, in a submission to the Governor proposing the first causeway across the flats east of Perth, Crane was named as a contractor. In 1839, a contract was let to John Crane for 250 pounds to build a canal around the riverside fringe of what is now the W.A.C.A. He was granted Guildford town Lot 50 on 10 March 1841, and also Perth Lot W20 on 8 September 1841. On 4 May 1842, the Causeway Committee accepted two tenders for the completion of the much discussed Causeway across the flats. One was from John Crane for 385 pounds for the embankment connecting the bridges. John later became the toll keeper on the Causeway. John was a carter and innkeeper in the 1850's and later a victualler. In 1850 he owned 20 acres in the Cockburn district and 45 acres in 1866. On the 23 July 1852, John Crane purchased Perth Lots E1 and E2 on the corner of Adelaide Terrace and Howick Streets from Lionel and William Sampson.
