Hi,

My name is David Billinghurst. I live in Balwyn, Victoria, Australia.

I have an interest in:
 * local history
 * exploration and settlement in south-east Australia, including primary sources, ships and shipwrecks
 * the early days (1788-1850) in Victoria
 * Melbourne stuff, including bridges, engineering heritage, historic buildings and places
 * geography, national parks and wilderness
 * math and physical sciences

Some work in progress:
 * notes on Gold rush diversions
 * notes on history of Balwyn, Victoria and surrounding suburbs
 * useful citations User:Billingd/History of Victoria
 * notes on Melbourne water supply
 * playing with maps
