		Victoria United are close to the top of the table having had one of their best starts ever.
		They gave Victoria too much space and time on the ball (Nick Gilbert, especially in the first half, put on a clinic in flicks, short passes, and nice control of the passes he received), and will be punished for that in the coming weeks if they don't tighten up that aspect of their game.

	1834 : Settlement of Portland Bay, Victoria, Australia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Noel Learmonth in his 1934 book "The Portland Bay Settlement" provides some background on the the four Henty brothers - Edward, Francis, Stephen and John and their families who settled the south-western corner of what was to become the state of Victoria.
		The Henty's are credited with establishing the first permanent settlement of this part of Australia and the the settlements of Digby (on Emu Creek) and Hotspur (on the Crawford River) are a direct result of their movement to the interior grasslands north of Portland in the late 1830's.
		Both of these settlements, like many other early settlements were established at creek or river crossings that provided significant obstacles for early travellers and their bullock drays and consequently the early travellers were looking for a resting place prior to or subsequent to making such a crossing.
