Just thought I'd put these up as they come along in case anyone is interested as accommodation will go fast in the inner city area.

Establishment of Melbourne
Both Batman and Fawkner settled in the new town, which had several interim names, including Batville, before being officially named Melbourne in honour of the British Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne, in March 1837.

Batman farmed at "Batman's Hill," an area now covered by the Spencer St railway yards. He was an alcoholic and had advanced syphilis, and he died young in 1839.

If only DC comics were around in those days. It would be called Gotham, and Batman would be one of the founders. :-)
