And 'specially selected' girls at that ... I can vouch for the weather though. The old Note Printing Branch, which printed the stamps as well, was a kilometer or so away, and a bleak looking old building - when Melbourne turned on one of its mid- Summer days with the temperature in the 40s and a raging hot Northerly wind, the place must have been a pretty fair approximation of Hell.
