Thanks for that, Kite - some of the State Archives sites had really clunky search interfaces, so this will definitely make searching easier.
I do have a couple of criticisms, though:
- it would have been better if they'd added a dropdown box where you can specify which State you want to search: at present you have to type it in
- they should specify which years are available for each State; the dates appear to be the same as on the State Archives sites, e.g. NSW births only go up to 1909, whereas the database title says 1788-1922, which is misleading.
Good news that there are some South Australian records on there, though, which aren't available elsewhere as far as I know.
I'll send this feedback to Ancestry.
