History

Feeding is difficult, vampires who reside in the country generally only feed from the wildlife, and enter torpor when supply runs low or their BP creeps too high.
Very few fixed human settlements. Only aboriginal populations. Have their own beliefs about the vampires.

British start to settle, creating permanent areas of human settlement. This provides more opportunities for feeding and some vampires create herds. This is very uncommon, and feeding off humans is viewed as a luxury and treated as such.
It becomes a symbol and entitlement of status to be allowed to feed off mortals.

Many cities are founded. Vampire numbers skyrocket. There is still shortages of blood, and systems are introduced around the country to adapt to and account for these shortages. Many kindred enter torpor at low BP.

Cities continue to expand and come into their own. Systems become unique to cities for managing vampiric numbers and blood supply.
The gold rush begins in 1851. The population balloons, the restrictions on feeding are relaxed, and kindred populations thrive. House Maine form in Castlemaine.
The Unseen Pact is entered into where Canberra will be located by the supernatural representatives, as part of an agreement to not influence the politics of the country.
