> It's early days yet, and only covers Central Gippsland, but keep an eye on http://www.stripmaps.com > Useful for those away from the area having problems working out some towns. also keep an eye on the Project 2000 for information towns in Victoria and Australia at: http://www.zades.com.au/ozindex/ozindex.html and some basic info for those that have forgotten what it's all about: Members of the Bellarine Historical Society in Victoria, and residents of the towns of the Bellarine Peninsula have commenced a major project to document the history of their local areas on the Internet. These histories include towns, buildings, families, schools,environment - in fact any subject which adds to the history of the Bellarine Peninsula. These are not all encompassing histories and certainly do not replace the need for researchers to visit or contact the Historical Society and other local repositories for more detailed information. The purpose of these histories is to increase the awareness of the depth of history on the Peninsula and to encourage further research into local archives. This local project generated a lot of interest and requests from other groups to expand the project - initially in Victoria, but more recently across Australia. It became obvious that there was a need to :- provide a comprehensive index of existing histories of places in Australia expand the number of histories on the Internet of places in Australia assist others who wanted to contribute to this project but were not sure how to go about it. The end result is PROJECT 2000 - a special project adopted by the Melbourne Dead Persons' Society (DPS). The aim is to have a history of every location in Australia on the Internet before the year 2000. so check out the above web site for your town or area.....it just may be there. cheers, Leone
