It's not Tasmania, and it's not "The Times" itself as such, but the State
Library of New South Wales has bound copies of the index to "The Times"
newspaper. I can't remember the name of it, but it starts with "P" - i.e.
the P--- Index.

There is also a CD-ROM version of the index. But sorry, I do not know
anywhere closer to home where the index might be available.
