Australian History sites

Despite the relative 'youth' of western presence in Australia, there are quite a number of sites from our colonial history available to visit. Further still are some sites that have an unusual or relatively untold history.

I really liked this article that talked about some of the Old Melbourne Gaol execution markers being used to build Brighton's sea-wall

Tonnes of sand along this Melbourne beach are hiding a dark chapter of Victoria's history

It's a tale that has everything: ghastly crimes, executions, exhumations, grave robbery, publicly-funded Great Depression-era mass-employment construction schemes and, of course, Ned Kelly.
