An interesting link is the History of Australian Theatre.
HAT has details of actors, actresses, and behind the scenes
theatricals who played in Australia between 1860-1960. If you had an
ancestor who was in the theatre you may find them here.

This month there are added several entries to the database, including photos and also an article about early scenic design in Australia.

Access to all information is free...
