Victorian Places



Want to find out more about the town or suburb where your ancestors lived?  The Victorian Places website invites you to "Hop on the historic W-class tram and hop off at any one of over 1600 destinations throughout Victoria. Along the way you can discover the history of every town, city, suburb, village and settlement with a population of over 200 people."

The website, sponsored by Monash University and the University of Queensland, contains the history of those places in Victoria which now have or once had a population over 200 at any time since the establishment of Victoria as a British colony.  Below is the information provided to Brighton East.
