Title: Sydney Telephone Books 1980-1995 (2024-08-20)
Post by: Megatill on Tuesday 20 August 24 07:38 BST (UK)
Hi folks - I am wondering if anyone has access to the Sydney Phone books or Yellow Pages for a Doctor who was located in St Ives (Post code 2075) in the 1980s-1990s.  Very happy to receive a PM if anyone can do a look-up.

The Doctor was located on Memorial Road and was either named Blaxland or Haseland - pretty certain it ended in "land". I am happy to hear about any Doctors located on Memorial Road in St Ives for that time frame, though!!!


Thanks so much!

Megan in Sydney

I have requested the research, but now I find it is only available in the Main Reading Room in Canberra, and I am not in Canberra!!! LOL!!

"Rookie Mistake" on my part!

Thanks Jennaya!

Sometimes ibrarians will look up a specific item for you if you are unable to visit in person. Or your local library can make the request on your behalf.

Good to know... it has been ages since I used a library... will have to get into the swing of doing that again.

I will ask when I get the notification that the NLA has the doc ready for me to view.


Thanks again, Jennaya!
