SUMMARY:Early Colonists of the Brighton Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:Before British colonisation of Australia\, many Aboriginal peoples lived in the area now known as Victoria. After the first Europeans settled there in October 1803\, in September 1836 the area became part of the colony of New South Wales\, known as the District of Port Phillip. In July 1851\, the District of Port Phillip was established as its own colony\, becoming the Colony of Victoria\, with its own government within the British Empire. On this walk we will meet John Andrews who with his brother purchased land for market gardens at Brighton in 1839\, Peter Hurlestone  who in 1840 was one of the first of two millers to establish a flour mill in Melbourne\, Caroline Dexter/Lynch arrived in Sydney in 1855 before coming to Victoria\, her Institute of Hygiene advised women to discard their corsets and wear divided skirts. These are but a few of those that we will be getting know on this walk. \n
