Dear Alwynne, I have read your inquiry about the newspapers around Young. A lot of newspapers are held at the State Library in Sydney, there are very easy to access and to use, most are on micro-film. I don't know if you can get to Sydney, but if you can they are a very good source of infromation. Good luck Judith Long. ----- Original Message ----- From: "alwynne mackie" <alwynnem@melbpc.org.au> To: <AUS-NSW-CENTRAL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2003 2:42 PM Subject: Re: [NSW-C] Newspapers around Young > Many thanks, Wendy. > Does it still exist - perhaps under another name?

Many thanks, Judith. Unfortunately I am housebound in Melbourne, so that's not an option. But thanks, anyway.
