If you are looking for that town or place on a old certificate you may find the location of that place on the following website http://www.let.osaka-u.ac.jp/seiyousi/Ghost-Gazetteer/ This site, the Ghostly Gazetteer of Australia, is based on 'Ghostly Gazetteer' by D.W.A. Baker. 'Ghostly Gazetteer' is a collection which consists of more than 2600 handwritten cards of now lost Australian place names and 220 bibliographical cards. Professor Takao Fujikawa at Osaka University took pictures of all the cards, and then with his students transcribed them into a database. They produced this site from the database with the permission of D.W.A.Baker. In the process of transcription and the making of map-based database, Takao Fujikawa believes that they made mistakes. Please let him know if you find any mistake in this site. Anne
