Well, there's an archive of tons and tons of Aussie stuff at this
gopher site:

#
Type=1
Name=COOMBSQUEST Soc. Sci. & Humanities Information Facility (A.N.U.)
Path=
Host=cheops.anu.edu.au
Port=70
#
Type=1
Name=soc-science-software at coomspapers otherarchives
Path=ftp:wuarchive.wustl.edu@/doc/coombspapers/otherarchives/soc-science-software/
Host=bigcheese.math.scarolina.edu
Port=70

I'm pretty sure there are search facilities in the gopher menus around
these two places that will locate anything that's been archived on
that topic (assuming it exists). Happy hunting!
