Stanbridge<br />The Hon William Edward Stanbridge (Esq, M.L.C., J.P.) was a prominent figure in colonial Victoria during the second half of the nineteenth century. After leaving England to pursue his fortune in Australia, he became a wealthy pastoralist and mining investor, a prominent politician, philanthropist, supporter of women’s suffrage, and a writer of Aboriginal knowledge, yet little has been written about his life. His papers on Boorong society and astronomy are not only the only records of that culture in the literature, but continue to yield new discoveries 150 years later
