Feature articles from the Bulletin are reproduced here with the permission of the Society, and are based on descriptions provided in the Wollongong City Library’s Illawarra Index catalogue. Complete issues of the Bulletin will be available online through the Society’s website www.illawarramuseum.com in 2015.
