Testimonial
When member Sue Kinsella began planning her recent North Queensland holiday, she enlisted the help of the Information Service:
“I phoned Marion Webb, at the Information Service, and asked if the Association had a list of suitable places to stay. I loaned the book “Easy Access Australia” from the Information Service library, which proved well worth the read.”
Read more about Sue Kinsella’s North Queensland adventures in the January – February 2009 edition of Imprint (PDF, 1MB).
For more information or to access this service, please contact the Association.
