Victoria BMDs are online, but the site's closed for maintenance until tomorrow:

http://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/home

It has:

births (1853 to 1924)
marriages (1853 to 1942)
deaths (1853 to 1985)

It might be worth having a look at the Cameron Genealogies site - the details I've checked out for my people have proved accurate so far:

aha.. Sophie!
I see where I've been going wrong, I was looking on the IGI for Scotland only!!

I wonder if they are "mine" ... I know the Australian records that people have looked up on here for me list the parents too so there is no doubt, but they look like distinct possibles!

thankyou.

2nd thoughts.. the Alex one can't be right as he was only born in 1826...
