Hi Joy, I feel VERY guilty.......I live about 10 minutes away from Kingswood and if you would trust me with your information and tell me what you want I would be more than happy to do it for you. I know where the Archives turn-off is. I go past it nearly every day. Hilda Cooper, Outer Western Suburbs, Sydney.
