Thanks to Anna, Virginia and John regarding helpful ideas on searching for the information on this house. I've sent an email to one of the offices that Anna refered me to and will wait to see what happens. I'm also going to whip off an email to the address Virginia sent. It has been fun thinking about all the family memories that came during the period we lived in that house......forty plus years, seven family members, four bedrooms and 1 bathroom!! I still have a key to the back door. Maybe I should send it to the man who bought the house in 1998, but then again...as long as the key is in Australia I guess he doesn't have much to worry about. Many thanks for your ideas and help on this one.
