I guess you've checked that the PDF really is text and not scanned
images of text.

G'day again MAL (& the map luvin JOHN) ...
Please find the attached map that I've acquired in my travels.
It's for Moorabbin way back in 1852 and was copied from the Lands Dept
lads of the day ... not great quality, but not really relevant for me
as it was 100 years before my time, but your lad should have been
camping out somewhere on the map.
Wickham Road is marked, as are several blocks owned by said family,
and your Keys Road appeared a bit later as a dogs leg extended section
of Wickham Road after Chesterville Road appeared. My dad operated a
small factory in Keys Road in the 60s and as kids we worked weekends
and school holidays for him and collected soft drink bottles and the
like in the empty paddocks all around the area.
All good fun.
BTW, I tried a search in the pdf scan of the book but some of the
protections are locking out my free version of Acrobat ... any
suggestions welcome!
Cheers, ROB!
