Although musters were kept of men in Australia from 1788, proper Australian censuses kicked off with the 1828 census of New South Wales and Tasmania, giving ages, occupations, where people lived, and whether they were born in Australia or, if not, when they landed. There is a surname index at the SoG and a microfilm copy at TNA in class HO 10. The first national census was made in 1881, but few returns have survived.
