An amazing source of historical information, Government Gazettes are a unique, useful and extremely fascinating resource for local, family and social historians and researchers in other fields throughout Australia.

They were published by the Government as a means of communication to officials and to the general public, and therefore include certain information that is of great use in establishing an image of Australia and its people in the past.

The Government Gazettes for a particular locality eventually became standardised with the types of material and information included. The information contained in the years 1859-1870 include:
 - Appointees to Government positions
 - Appointments of Magistrates and Justices of the Peace
 - Appointments of Returning Officers
 - Crown Land Leases
 - Deceased Estates
 - Government Acts and Proclamations
 - Impoundments
 - Legal Notices
 - Licences and Contracts
 - Lists of Officers, Medical Practitioners, Ministers of Religion etc.
 - Partnerships
 - Unclaimed Property
 - Unclaimed Letters
 - Witnesses to Executions
