Notes

# - these are locations recorded by Australian National in and around 1986

## - locations referenced here are from the authors sources

@ - this information has come from the cards - for the cars so marked, the discussion with several Historians suggest that this is funding from the Commonwealth that may be a later refund.These cards are later versions of those in the file, suggesting that they may have been replaced at some stage.
