Hamish Lindsay writes:

1975 was the International Women’s Year and I had the enjoyable task of going around all the offices in Canberra involved with space tracking and photographing all the girls.

[It seems the photos were taken to be used in an International Women’s Year display. – CM.]

Hamish doesn’t seem to to have taken any photos
of the ladies at Orroral Valley. At least, I haven’t found any yet. – CM.

This photo was apparently taken in 1978 or 1979.
