I love The Oz... and not just because I work there

The Australian turns 40 on Thursday and its commemmorative stuff is going to be a huge help to me. From July 10, for a couple of weeks each day's paper includes a full-size reproduction of a front page from the past 40 years and on Thursday, July 15, the paper will include a full reproduction of the first, 32-page edition from 1964 (so I can cancel that part of my library order and save money!). Beginning Saturday (July 17), there'll be a 13-part glossy magazine series outlining major stories during the paper's history, but also including more pages from the past (I've seen it already; it's been thoroughly researched and gorgeously designed by a group of my colleagues). So, while I concentrate on getting us housed (see previous post), the paper is doing some of my work for me...
Everyone in Australia should buy the paper, of course, and help pay my wages, but I'll post copies of the goodies here for others as I get them.
