Ancestry. Dot.com is the only site thats has a full and detailed list of Australian history and family trees.
But i feel TOTALLY DISGUSTED to know they want to charge me $$$ to look at pictures of my own grandfather and father that came from our albums which were taken from the house at the time of death by persons unknown.. I THINK ITS A DECEITFUL AND DISHONEST ACT TO MAKE A LIVING OUT OF EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL AND SHOULD BE PUBLICLY SHAMED!!!
Who goes to such an effort to snavel up everones family history and memories in a premeditated and calculated way so as to gain a monopoly on personel items/ information then sell it back to their own family members or rewrite their own history..
Anon...Ancestry's a great resource, but it does cost you! There are places where you can get free access, though. Some local libraries offer it, and the National Archives has branches around the country with free access as well. I think the LDS genealogy folks also make it available. If nothing else works, though, send me an email and I'll see what I can do with your Aussie family history.
