The 1973 Diary, Part 8

The front page of the "Daily News Newspaper. It has headlines, 3 pictures of women and an ad for Easter eggs.
The front page of a Perth newspaper for the first date in this Post. The Daily News came out in the afternoons, so these photos were taken on the morning of 16 April 1973. The caption in part reads "...the cold south westerly wind today played havoc with the girls' long hair as they went to work this morning.

Sunday 1 April  

I got up at 8.30 and had breakfast. Thank goodness I didn’t have a stomach ache this morning.

Friday 16 March

I got up at 10 to 7 and had breakfast. Today I don’t have to go to BC. It’s now at 10.20 and I haven’t done hardly anything except Mrs Cole locked me out of my room by mistake. 

I’ll meet Julie and Sue for lunch. We had a rather expensive lunch at Petite. Then I walked Sue … Read the rest ... “The 1973 Diary, Part 6”
