While surfing tonight I ventured into the National Archives Search http://www.naa.gov.au/Search/search.html put in the word "Diaries" asked for 100 to the page and a lot of very interesting subjects came up, including links to things like "Aliens During World War I legislation was passed requiring all aliens (subjects of other countries who were not naturalised citizens) over the age of 15 residing and entering Australia to be registered. Alien registration was suspended in 1926, but re-introduced during World War II and continued for many years after that. Alien registration documents are held for the years 1914-18, and 1948-65, approximately."
