Shauna, It is frustrating. Every so often I do a site search using the terms Australia or Australian. This produces quite a few hits but unfortunately they are not listed chronogically. If they were then we could make a task to check each week or so. I just did the search and found some Australian surname groups and a picture of a ship one of my convicts came on. It would also be good if one could subscribe to an RSS feed for the site using the term Australia. I am going to try setting up a Google News alert using the terms genealogywise and Australia or australian and see if that works. Will let you know if that bears fruit.
