Hi Beverly,
I read your query, I have no connection to the Sibley's, howerver I had ancestors who lived in the region in Victoria, Australia that you were interested in.There is a great web site that has a lot of information on the region you are interested in and it is at www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au.I did a bit of snooping and there is a mention of a Bertram L Sibley Age 40 years who died in a mining accident in 1935 at Sandhurst, Bendigo.I also found a James Sibley who married a Jane Colon in 1883, Mudgee NSW.Mudgee had a gold rush in the 1870's.I have found during my research, that a lot of people came to Victoria in the mid 1880's for the gold rushes and seemed to move on to the gold rushes in NSW.
I don't know if this has been of any assistance, but I hope so.
Good Luck
