Malcolm, thank you for your comments, but we aren’t researchers. We simply advise you of records that are available for you to research for yourself. However if you want someone to look up information for you I suggest you look on the APG website under Australia and get in touch with one or two of them and see if they can help with your query (https://www.apgen.org/directory/search_results.html).
