After a quiet period, interest in bookplates in Australia began to increase in the early 1970s, Entrepreneurial art and book collectors such as Edwin Jewell and others commissioned multiple Bookplate designs from a range of well known fine artists. At a 1997 meeting in Melbourne of the Ephemera Society of Australia Edwin Jewell and others announced the formation of the Australian Bookplate Society. The society was instrumental in promoting the art of the bookplate through establishment of the Australian Bookplate Design competition. The competition includes a design award for secondary schools students.A kangaroo is depicted on a flat field with hills in the backgroundRenee Palmer bottom right hand cornerbookplate, printmaking, australian bookplate design award, keith wingrove memorial trust

Photos are of several Boomerangs, but mostly concern A46-1001. This appears to be an experimental variant fitted with a turbo-supercharger and a tailplane closely resembling the P-51 Mustang. This represents the CAC's attempts to improve the Boomerang design before settling on license-building the Mustang.

Includes photographs of experimental variants, Boomerang production lines, and later additions like cameras installed underneath the aircraft.

Includes photographs of Wirraways and a captioned photograph of Japanese bombing at Buna, Papua, where Wirraways were used in combat.

Includes photographs of CAC Ceres trials and operational use by Super Spread Aviation Pty. Ltd, which operated from Moorabbin. Operations shown include crop spraying and restocking fish in a lake by releasing trout from its large internal tanks.
