I stumbled onto yet another useful Google book (if the link below does not work, go to Google homepage, click on "more"
in upper lefthand menu, then click on "books" and input the word "bailliere" to get search results including this book). I
realize that there already are online on gen. sites some post office directories for Australia, so I googled to see if I could find this 1869 one as one of those, with nothing resulting that indicates that. Even if there are excerpts online, this Google book is entire and easily searched via the included search engine.

Also, some other useful directories popped up while I was googling, and those are shown below.
