The National Archives at Kew has released thousands of early Australiasian photographs online, as sourced from its Colonial Office files. The images concern early photographs and drawings of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga and other Pacific Islands. There is a dedicated platform to view them at http://nationalarchives.gov.uk/australasia/.
The original news story can be found at http://nationalarchives.gov.uk/news/805.htm, and a blog entry giving more on the collection at http://blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/blog/in-flickrs-page-let-every-stage-advance-australia-fair/.
