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.
