Hi Rowena There's a book in many libraries published sometime ago called ' The Mechanical Eye' . This is a specialised directory of photographers. You might also be able to narrow down a time frame via VIC Post Office Directories . I only have NSW ones at home Bye MargM Beautiful NSW Central Coast ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to AUS-VIC-GOLDFIELDS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
