Two Australian sites for war records.

http://www.naa.gov.au/TheCollection/recordsearch.html

The nominal roll of men and women who served in the Australian forces in WW2
is now online at http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/

With just a few keystrokes, it's now possible to access the service details of anyone who
served in Australia's defence forces during World War II.
The National Archives of Australia today unveiled the long-awaited nominal roll of more
than a million men and women who served at home and abroad during World War II.
The launch was the culmination of a massive effort to transfer key details
from 60-year-old, often hand-written paper records into an electronic format.
The database contains basic biographical details of each person such as their full name,
date of birth, enlistment and discharge dates, rank, any gallantry awards and whether he
or she was a prisoner.
It is accessible on the internet at http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/ .
Further service details are listed on the original paper records, now maintained in the
archives' repository in Canberra and copies are available at a modest cost.
Navy service records typically comprise one or two hand-written cards, while army and
air force records can run to numerous typed and hand-written pages.
Veterans Affairs Minister Danna Vale said the roll drew on the service records of all
Australians who enlisted during the war to provide a valuable
snapshot of the nation's wartime history.
"Generations of Australians will now be able to easily access information on
the wartime service of family members," she said.

Some of you may be interested in the new set of microfiche indexes from the
Ballarat Genealogical Society. The set is:

Ballarat East Petty Sessions, Series VPRS 290/P, Part 1, (1858-1889)

"For two years a team of volunteers from the Ballarat & District
Genealogical Society Inc has been engaged in this indexing project. Many
thousands of entries from 27 of the old court registers have been
transcribed into a database of approximately 55,000 names. Now a surname
index is available as a set of 15 microfiche. This will prove to be a
valuable resource for family historians who are tracing the people of the
first and second generation in the Ballarat area.

Ballarat East was located on the alluvial flats and hills lying east of the
Yarrowee Creek and in the main, occupied the site of the original canvas
town of the early diggings in the area where the Eureka Rebellion took
place in 1854.

The first case presented in the Ballarat East Court of Petty Sessions was
heard on 4 July 1858. It was brought against John Hollam for "wilfully
destroying a fence", but the complaint was dismissed. In the first week,
Maurice M Ellis was fined 1 shilling for holding a lottery at the Montezuma
Theatre Ballarat, the prize for which was a nugget of gold, known as the
Nil Desperandum Nugget. Two days later George Buchanan was fined the much
larger amount of 5 shillings for "neglecting to clean his private yard". So
began the colourful collection of tales which were recorded in the court
books....."
