Australia's three largest inland cities, in order, are Canberra, Toowoomba, and the combined New South Wales and Victoria cities of Albury/Wodonga.

Victoria, as an independent colony, separated from New South Wales in August 1851, just before it had its first major gold strike, at Ballarat.

The very first settlement (which failed within less than a year) was established at Sorrento, on the Mornington Peninsula, in 1803. The mre successful settlement which later went on to become Melbourne was established by John Batman in 1836.

Year 12 (the last year of high school) is when most people finish they are normally 17 or 18, depending upon the state in which they live. In Queensland, for example, most school leavers are still 17, although this will change over the next few years as school intake age has changed. In New South Wales, students are 18 when they finish school.

The Victorian Parliament has two houses: the Legislative Assembly (lower house) and the Legislative Council (upper house).

The distance from Echuca on the Murray River to Melbourne is 229 km. Depending on traffic, the trip takes around 3 hours.

Melbourne was founded primarily in response to the need for more pastureland and for the settlers to have a base from which to spread out. It was also founded because John Batman started a settlement "illegally".

As a native born Australian, Batman wished to open up new pastureland and promote the growth of the colonies. He applied for land in the Westernport Bay area of southern Australia, now Victoria, but was refused his request. In May 1835, he explored Port Phillip Bay, looking for suitable sites to settle. On 6 June 1835, he signed a 'treaty' with the Aborigines, which enabled him to have free access to almost 250,000 hectares of land. Two months later, Governor Bourke declared Batman's treaties invalid, and issued a proclamation warning off him and his supporters as trespassers on crown land.

Despite the attempts at government intervention, the foundling settlement of Melbourne remained, and flourished. The new township was surveyed and named as Melbourne on 3 March 1837, in honour of the British Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne.

Melbourne was never the capital of Australia. There is a common misconception that, because Melbourne was the temporary seat of government between Federation (1901) and 1927, that it was also the capital. This was not the case, as it was never officially designated the title of Capital, even temporarily. Australia's two largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, had been rivals since before the goldrush days. It was therefore decided that the nation's capital should be situated between the two cities. A location was chosen which was 248km from Sydney and 483km from Melbourne. Thus, Canberra became Australia's first, and only, capital city.

The Great Ocean Road was built by 3000 returned servicemen (or "Diggers") as a war memorial for fellow servicemen who had been killed in the First World War. The idea for the road was suggested as far back as 1864. Surveying began in 1918 and construction took place between 1919 and 1932. Parts of the Great Ocean Road run around steep coastal mountains. These were the trickiest and the final sections to be built. In 1922 the section from Eastern View to Lorne was completed. In 1932 the section from Lorne to Apollo Bay was finished, thus completing the entire road. (Wikipedia ).

It is unknown who discovered the Bendigo goldfields. The Bendigo goldfields are part of the huge "golden triangle" of Victoria. The first gold in Victoria was found within this "golden triangle" in Clunes by James Esmond. He made what is believed to be the first gold discovery at Clunes on 11 June 1851. However, at almost the same time, gold was also discovered at Anderson's Creek, near Warrandyte, by Melbourne publican Louis Michel. Both Clunes and Warrandyte claim to be the first town in Victoria where gold was found.

The first gold in Victoria was found in Clunes on 11 June 1851, by James Esmond. However, on 9 August 1851, Victoria's goldrush began when gold was discovered at Mt Alexander, 60km northeast of Ballarat, and close to the town of Bendigo, in July 1851.

Winter officially begins on June 1st throughout Australia.

Many places In England are named after Queen Victoria because she was the reigning Monarch during the Industrial revolution. During her reign things like the Great Exhibition (The Crystal Palace), the railways etc. were built. Also, she ruled the British Empire and was self-proclaimed Indian Empress. It's similar to schools named after Presidents etc. in America.
