Ron's Australian Genealogy Links

I have not really researched in Australia as Christine and her parents came here in 1953 and me in 1966.

But Lankshear's have been here since 1820s
So I have collected some notes with site suggested and I have pasted these below
Maybe some twice. But there is a wealth of Aus data available
