| Dubh Linn |
|
| Geelong is first mentioned as a provisional garrison in February 1993. It resulted from a display by Melbourne and Sarkland garrisons at the Geelong Mediaeval fair in Oct/Nov 1992. There was so much interest expressed at the time that a new group was soon set up. It was founded as a group of Irish Vikings, and as it evolved, its name has changed to Dun Loughaire, then Dubh Linn (Dublin). Angela Redden (now Willett) was one of the founding members. |
| Dubh Linn spun off another (unaffiliated) group called "Guardians of Time" & another, which became a branch of the Mediaeval and Crafty Bastards, in 2000 |

| The Geelong crowd have put on many rowdy and enjoyable feasts, and have become a fixture in displays such as the Geelong Celtic Festival and highland gatherings. At one point they had their own boat, somewhat altered to look like a longship. This drew great attention and comment from the public at displays. |
| Dun Laoghaire, as it was then, gained its garrison status in September 1993, and was presented with its charter at the first Wagga Gathering. |
| Members of Dubh Linn, in conjunction with Frojel Gotlandica and Islendica, are hosting the 2003 Mediaeval Convention near Bright in rural Victoria. |
 |
| After the movie "Braveheart" came out, there was a lot of demand for Dubh Linn to put on displays at Highland Gatherings. Here members of Dubh Linn and Antioch re-enact the battle of Bannockburn, or perhaps Stirling - with slightly reduced numbers, at the Highland Gathering in Daylesford. |
