My wife was born in 1951 and I purchased a genuine copy of the Sydney Morning Herald for her 50th Birthday. I just had a look on thier website and they have quite a few copies available for August 1933, but I did not have the date of your Mums birthday. Here is the website if you would like to look for yourself. It is called Paperworld.<BR>http://www.paperworld.com.au/index.php<BR>Sounds like Mum is going to have a fun 75th Birthday. Good Luck with it.<BR>Cheers<BR>Grayeme<BR><BR> "Grayeme & Lynne Bone" <gralyn@iprimus.com.au> 2008-04-12T06:04:18-06:00 http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/AUS-MEMORIES/2008-04/1207954452 Hi Barbara,<BR>It might also be worth your while in joining the Melbourne list as well, <BR>many members on their who would be in the same age bracket who would be able <BR>to help you.<BR>Let me know as I can put you on that list as I'm admin to this one as well <BR>as the Melbourne list.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Ray.<BR>----- Original Message ----- <BR>From: "Barbara" <guardiandriving@iprimus.com.au><BR>To: <AUS-MEMORIES@rootsweb.com><BR>Sent: Friday, April 11, 2008 11:01 PM<BR>Subject: [AUS-MEMORIES] cost of things in 1933<BR><BR><BR>> Hi,<BR>><BR>> This is the first time I have posted to this list, and I am needing a bit <BR>> of<BR>> help.
