It's been almost ten years since Christina posted a few sites in this thread.
Since then many more sites have come online including the
National Archives of Australia.
https://www.naa.gov.au/
This page links to
passenger arrivals. immigration, citizenship, and wartime internment camp records.
Do make sure that you scroll to the bottom of the page.(That should be standard practice for any page, not just this one!)
https://www.naa.gov.au/explore-colle...nd-citizenship
I've gradually been finding the datasets for Australia listed on FMP and Ancestry. These are what I have so far. (I will update in due course.) On both sites you can search the indexes for free, only needing to pay when you need to see a record. If your local library provides access to either of the sites then you might be able to access the records at the library.
Some of the information on both sites might be available for free. You need to check the source of the
information - often the state archives. The datasets on Ancestry beginning 'Web' are mainly free. There is quite a lot of duplication of datatsets between the sites, not necessarily with the same title. e.g. one site might say Australia Queensland, while the other says Queensland. Even within a site there is sometimes no logic as to the way the sets are headed.
See the next two posts for the lists.Vulcan XH558 - “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”

Another site which I have recently been told about is
https://coraweb.com.au/
You need to look at the categories on the right-hand side and explore from there.
And I've also been introduced to FamilySearch Wiki for various places. This is the link to the Australian Wiki.
https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki...alia_Genealogy
This site has links to many of the usual state BMD and other archives, but if you scroll down a bit there are links to many museums, etc, for different cultures in Australia.
https://www.coasit.com.au/italian-hi...y/useful-links
Also links to lots of stuff in Italy.Vulcan XH558 - “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”
