Please note these are scans of the original 1936 Queensland Post Office
Directory, not the typed documents. The above have been typed out
simply to let you know what is contained in this directory.

And be warned - broadband will be needed, as the larger towns may take a
while to download, especially Townsville. Smaller towns, only one page,
should be ok.

you are:

Ayr
Ayton
Babinda
Balfes Creek
Boulia
Bowen
Cairns
Port Douglas
Port Moresby
Proserpine

towns in which you are researching.

Maxine.
