This might be old news, but my cousin just sent me this website: http://trove.nla.gov.au
Very easy to use! Found a bunch of articles on my Munro family. Had some of them, but there's couple of new ones in there too.

Re: National Library of Australia website
Thanks Carol,
The Trove site has been around for a while (not too long) but I don’t think it’s been posted before. It was one of the search options for the Australian newspaper site. http://www.nla.gov.au/ndp/search/
It’s been under development and the last time I looked a fair while back there didn’t seem to be much there but it seems to be bounding along now. I find the green interface more relaxing than the blue so I’ll switch to that now you’ve brought it to notice.
All the best,
Alan

Alan,
I thought the Trove site sounded familiar, but I know that I had never found the articles about James Munro's drowning death online before. Wini originally got them for me from the Queensland Library if I remember correctly and that was a couple of years ago now.
It's nice to see that the site is booming! And that it's free!!!

Re: National Library of Australia website
Using either colour - the site is amazing. I have been solving all sorts of minor mysteries with the SMH - I am finding many divorces in the family - quite a few came in 1920s, 1930s - which I wasn't expecting. It seems if one was deserted it was necessary to apply for "restoration of conjugal rights" and only when the order for same was not successful could one get a divorce. I wonder how many unwanted folks returned home?
Also finding obits (from the odd few "important" folks), inquests and many BDM notices, plus so many miscellaneous news and social items - rather overwhelming.
One of the wonderful and free online resources.
