Dr. Barry Cotter – First Doctor in Melbourne
Hello to the Millstreet community,
I wanted to let you know that I have finished researching and writing the biography of Dr Barry Cotter, first doctor in Melbourne, Australia, who was born in Millstreet in 1807. The biography is available here, drbarrycotter.com. I received news this week that The National Library of Australia is going to archive the website into its online collection, so I’m pretty excited about that. Thanks again to the Aubane Historical Society, especially Jack Lane and Alan Brick who were so generous in supplying information.
I look forward to any comments from members of the Millstreet community about the website. cheers, from Moira McAlister <email>
