Hi Shirley, Have a look at the State Library http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/ Check the Catalogue & PICMAN (Pictures and Manuscripts) If you're not able to get to SL you may be able to arrange an inter-library loan.

Another good place to look is Libraries Australia "Libraries Australia lets you discover what's in Australian libraries. You can find it, borrow it, copy it or buy it." http://librariesaustralia.nla.gov.au/apps/kss As well as books from the State Library you wil find works from many other Australian Libraries.
