150th Anniversary of VictoriaPrint Page 
The memorial commemorates the 150th anniversary of the state of Victoria, and pioneer families who have had an association with the Trafalgar District for one hundred years.
Victoria's first successful British settlement was at Portland, on the west coast of what is now Victoria. Portland was settled on 19 November 1834 by the Henty family, who were originally farmers from Van Diemen's (Tasmania). Melbourne was founded in 1835 by John Batman. Victoria was officially created a separate colony in 1851, and achieved self government in 1855.
