I'm not in Australia, but I am in Germany. They are certainly worth it as you don't have to pay the minimum 5 pounds every session. You only pay the 75p per census image or 50p to see just the transcription details for a single person. You never pay the 5 pounds and you do not have to use the value of the voucher in one go. They are also available to order by telephone or fax to all in UK now. In other words, if people want access to 1901 it is easily available and affordable. I would advise everybody not to use the credit card option. It doesn't make any sense as you pay a 5 pound fee every time you use it and still have to pay per image or person the same 75p or 50p.

Bear in mind they are only valid for 6 months, so just buy as much as you will use in that time! Maz. XX

Thanks Maz, I had forgotten about that. Its not too much of a problem though as you can buy vouchers in small denominations. 5 pounds is the smallest I think. For instance, I bought 5 x 5 pounds vouchers. I don't have to use them all within 6 months. I just have to use each one within 6 months from first use of that voucher. Regards Simon in Munich
