The first settlement in the area occurred in 1803 at Sullivan Bay, and much of what is now Victoria was included in the Port Phillip District in 1836, an administrative division of New South Wales. Victoria was officially created a separate colony on July1,185, and achieved self-government in 1855.[6] The Victorian gold rush in the 1850s and 1860s significantly increased both the population and wealth of the colony, and by the Federation of Australia on 9 May 1901, one hundred and forty seven members of the first Federal Government were sworn in. Melbourne had become the largest city and leading financial centre in Australasia. Melbourne also served as capital of Australia until the construction of Canberra in 1927, with the Federal Parliament meeting in Melbourne's Parliament House and all principal offices of the federal government being based in Melbourne.

13.01.2022 The Cemetorians need your help - one of the aims of the Cemetorians has been for a searchable database on our Website where you could search and find the locations of those who are buried within the walls of the Brighton cemetery. The database will greatly assist us to meet the increasing enquiries from families seeking genealogical data as well as a central location to celebrate the lives and achievements of those interred at Brighton Cemetery. As a member of the Brighton Ce...metorians you will be able to have access to photos and any extra information. Talks have begun with two Web designers and this is where we need your help to raise $6,000, which will be used to set up the database and maintain it into the future. We are very grateful to SMCT IT [Springvale Cemetery] for their help and expertise in helping to make a searchable database on our website become a reality.

11.01.2022 JEWISH CONTRIBUTION WALK 24th November 2019 - 2PM as there were more people wanting to go on this walk than there were places on 6 Oct - another walk will be held on 24th November 2019 $10 no afternoon tea. Meet at the front gate on North Road. Many immigrants of Jewish origin came to Melbourne in the late 19th and early 20th centuries brought with them a range of skills and enterprise that contributed to our way of life. Did your grandparents ever have a Wertheim Piano or Sewing Machine in their home? And, where did they buy their furniture from? Remember Patersons? The Nathan family from London and the Wertheims’ from Germany were certainly very prolific in their time. Come and join us for a walk through history.
