This presentation is an overview of how domestic and foreign mails were transported in and from the British colony of Victoria. The period covered begins in 1835, when the area – roughly the size of Great Britain – was called the Port Phillip District of New South Wales and its population comprised fewer than 180 non-aboriginal people. It continues into the late 19th Century when maritime mail routes had evolved along with advancements in steamship technology.
