http://www.naa.gov.au is great place to find digitally archived records of government and war service. If it has been digitised previously it is ususlly freely available to view online. I found my grandfathers records had to be digitised cost me $25 and six weeks or so. Showed 'em to an aunt and uncle and then went looking for my uncles rellies - a cousin who died flying a bomber in Germany in '44 and his dad who died same year( at first telling me his father did not serve coz he was a doctor, then after seeing this file, remebered a photo of his dad at uni in army uniform !!). We found the records had already been digitised , 100+ pages on the wing commander and 24 on his dad and able to view them straight away.
If you no have any rellies just search a random surname and look for the digitised logo and link and see the results
bloody interesting when you know the person or family !!
sorta timely with ANZAC day coming up
