    Wendy: 

     The following link is for a brief newspaper article about goings on in Daylesford as of Fri. 13 Aug. 1858.  13 Aug 1858 - DAYLESFORD. - Trove (nla.gov.au) 

     Also, the following link provides some additional history and links to the area.  Daylesford, Victoria - Wikipedia 

     The following link provides additional information about Daylesford along with more links you can research.  Daylesford, VIC - Aussie Towns 

     You may already be aware of these resources, but if not, I hope you find them helpful. 

     Good luck.
