The Australia Post website “Letters of a Nation” has hundreds of original letters, by Australians. They can be searched by CATEGORY eg migration, politics, war, milestone events, or by TIME PERIOD eg 1850-1899, 1940-1949. The letters also have transcripts – so you don’t have to read the difficult older handwritings.
- One of the letters on the Australia Post site
