HOME PAGE

This is the first page that is seen when you access the website for the Kurrajong-Comleroy Historical Society. In addition to various matters of topical interest which will be updated time to time it contains a sidebar menu on the left hand side, a repeat of this menu on the bottom of the page (for users whose browser may not be able to display graphics), and a housekeeping menu on the top of the page. To navigate to the various areas within the website point the mouse over the desired menu item of interest and click. On most computers this will normally be the left-hand button. To return to the home page click on the <Home> item in the housekeeping menu at the top of any page.

The various sections within the website are discussed below.
