Go-Set Magazine is available to the public at various State and Academic Libraries
around Australia, as well as at the National
Library in Canberra
These copies are mostly available to the public on microfilm.
Most libraries are generally reluctant to let the public view the original
paper copies.
An online catalogue service provided by the National Library's "Libraries
Australia" page will allow you to find details of your closest copy
of Go-Set.

If your local friendly State or Academic Library do not hold copies, you could
request them to make a copy of the original microfilm copy for local use.
The original and most complete set of Go-Set on microfilm is held by the State
Library of Victoria. Go-Set was based in Melbourne for most of its life.
Go-Set began publication in February 1966 and ceased publication in August
1974. Microfilm copies at most Australian libraries have been made from the
State Library of Victoria set.
Otherwise, you could try an inter-library loan. This may incur a fee.
