Thanks Bron. I believe there was also one in Sydney. As for the Melbourne one, I've read where it must have been there in the very early days - I've noticed several names mentioned as having attended. Once again, it shows how well equiped the newly settled colony of Vic was. Given the times, and the distance from the "populated" part of the world, Vic's residents had much in the way of facilites available.
