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.”
