These records are for the Flaxley, South Australia district. They start in 1974. They are transcribed from Bette Willison’s (Hardy) newsagency and post office record book.

If you had a relative living in the area around this time they may have bought newspapers or magazines at Flaxley or picked up their mail from there.
