It's amazing the things you keep finding on sites that you think you know like the back of your hand! I've just found an interesting online exhibition on the Public Record of Northern Ireland website entitled North to South: Northern Ireland and the History of Australia, available via www.proni.gov.uk/index/exhibitions_talks_and_events/online_exhibitions1/north_to_south_northern_ireland_and_the_history_of_australia.htm.

If you have Northern Irish connections in Oz, it's well worth checking out - topics include Convict Settlement, Ned Kelly, Free Settlement, The Workhouse Orphans, The Gold Rush, Australia Bound, Building The Cities, Who's Who, and Ulster Place Names Transplanted in Australia.
