History of Martini rifles in Australia

[goldiexxxx]

Hi Folks,

I am hoping members will be able to point me towards any sources of history of Martini rifles in Australia. I can search up plenty of info about model versions and dates of manufacture in Britain, but I have not been able to find any info on when and where these rifles were ordered and used in Australia.
I have only been able to determine that most states had them in some form, but really no specifics.
I have a PTA submitted for an 1876/1900 Martini Enfield; yet to determine exactly what its history is, and have been looking for some info to read beforehand.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Goldie
