He might have come to Victoria via New South Wales? Married in Maryborough
in 1861 ... Chances are that he was around the Avoca-Maryborough area
during the goldrush days.

You don't offer a name, so it's a bit hard to check anything.

Try the resources on the Avoca website:
http://home.vicnet.net.au/~adhs/ADHSMain.htm

and if no luck, use the link on that site to Maryborough.

Happy hunting.
