The family and I are back non again, after a great holiday, ( 3 months;, touring Australia. While we were away, I was very lucky to find about 20 old beer bottles end quits a few old labels. On our way over to the West we stopped with Bryant and Eunice Lawson, and we all had a tremendous time. The day that we spent in the Barossa Valley was great, sampling and buying wine. It took about a week to recover from that little jaunt. During our stay in the West, I called in on Hank Armaur and we had a bit of a swap session. Also we went on a tour of the Swan Brewery ( Emu Plant ), and I had a ball, after the tour I could not find the car or the family I was that bad. On our return trip, we stopped with Geoff and Trish Playford at their hotel in Kenttown and we all had a good time. Finally we arrived home loaded down with bottles of wine, old beer bottles, labels, etc., and on behalf of Margaret and the children, I would like to thank all the people mentioned for a tremendous time. I have just been told on the grapevine that Mrs. Val Grange was involved in a car accident and I and all the members wish her a speedy recovery. Bryant and Eunice lawson and you~son Pete are off around the world on a six month camping holiday, and asks that his correspondents be patient. The feature article in this months newsletter is a brief history of brewing in New South Wales, and the labels are some old Tooheys and Tooths from my collection. Any member wishing photocopies can obtain them from Rod Gillard at a cost of 30¢ per brewery, plus return postage • 4 IN COMMEMORATION Reviving OF THE a Railway OPENING •w LIFE FOI PICHI RICHI Re-openlnt a railway lint as 11 tourist attraction in the Soutb Au!lraJian Fllndtn Ranaes hu done more than re\'l't'e Ute work of the British stone• IIUIIOM aM Chin... coolies who built the Une ·- it completed the revinl of a towa to whi~h the railways once pro111.l..
