Miss Nancye A. Lovely travelled extensively in all states (except Tasmania and the Northern Territory), 1953-1956. Some of the boxes are unidentified so the date range may be a little wider. She travelled with her parents in the Austin A40 and the later Holden, and at least one of the trips was on the Trans-Australia train to Western Australia and on a Butler flight to Queensland. Her home was Camoola, Pennant Hills Road, Thornleigh.
