Hi Angela I found details of my aunt Anne Harvey's win in 1832 in The Australian Musical News - Ballarat library had some old copies in its Australiana Research collection. Also there are lists of winners in the back of a book called Singers of Australia author Barbara McKenzie. There are Sun Aria lists for Geelong 1925-1933, Bendigo and Sydney and a Shell Aria for Canberra. Royal South street from 1924.
