      Melbourne was founded later than you’d expect given its prominence in size and historical political power, it was indeed started in the mid 1830s. Before that there was a bit of exploration in Victoria but basically all settlements of size were in current day NSW and Tasmania (the expeditions for Melbourne left from Launceston, which had been going for a couple of decades by that point).

      It seems obvious and useless but the point here is actual things you can point to and go “PROOF.”. It’s about receipts. And more importantly: recognition. Don’t forget this is talking about victoria. You know, famed for Batman’s treaty. We were the ‘nice’ ones, not like those murderous other states…
