Hi Margaret,
This site relates to the South West of Australia. so I suggest that you
subscribe to the AUS-VIC (Victoria) List at
http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/AUS/AUS-VIC.html
Victoria is on the other side of the Country in the S/E of the country.
Another very good site for Australian geography is Geoscience Australia at
http://www.ga.gov.au/
It has a search facility that shows you where to find any location in
Australia...well worth keeping on your Favourites.
Regards,
Graeme
Perth,Western Australia
