Watson sat several departmental exams, including drawing and painting plant forms from nature, lettering, Composition of Form and Colour and advanced General Design, as well as dressmaking and embossed leatherwork. General Design examinations required only designs on paper, and not the full execution of an object (which was the case for Applied Design exams). Watson's folio applies many Australian native floral elements to design. Upon graduating, Watson taught at the Murtoa High School, living with her parents until their deaths in 1972 and 1988 when she was 74 years old.

However, in 1994, Victoria underwent council amalgamations, which resulted in Braybrook being incorporated into the City of Maribyrnong. The suburb of Maidstone continues to attract considerable attention from the residents of City of Brimbank, particularly its historical features, the old buildings and distinctive streetscapes that characterise the area.To capture the essence of Maidstone in 2021, a series of photographs were taken. These images document a range of buildings, street scenes, and other notable points of interest throughout the suburb, providing a visual record of its unique character.5593.01 - Mitchell St 118 Maidstone 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.02 - Mitchell St 120 Maidstone 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.03 - Mitchell St 122 Maidstone 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.04 - Mitchell St 124 - 132 Maidstone 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.05 - Mitchell St 124 - 132 Maidstone 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5593.06 - Mitchell St 124 - 138 Maidstone 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.07 - Mitchell St 124 - 138 Maidstone 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5593.08 - Mitchell St 126 - 132 Maidstone 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.09 - Mitchell St 128 - 130 Maidstone 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.10 - Mitchell St 132 - 128 Maidstone 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.11 - Mitchell St 1962 Maidstone - Former Ice Works.JPG 5593.12 - Mitchell St Maidstone - Consolidated Bearing Co 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.13 - Omar St 58 Maidstone 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.14 - Omar St 58 Maidstone 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5593.15 - Omar St Maidstone - Medway Golf Course 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5593.16 - Richards St Maidstone 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.17 - Richelieu St 66 Maidstone - Maidstone Church of Christ 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.18 - Richelieu St 66 Maidstone - Maidstone Church of Christ 2021 Photo 04.JPG 5593.19 - Rogers Reserve Maidstone 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.20 - Rosamond Rd 1 Maidstone - The Palms Bingo and Club 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.21 - Rosamond Rd 1 Maidstone - The Palms Bingo and Club 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5593.22 - Rosamond Rd 31 - Former Shop 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.23 - Rosamond Rd 69 Maidstone - Car Yard 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.24 - Rosamond Rd 75 Maidstone - Telstra Exchange 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.25 - Rosamond Rd 77 - 81 Maidstone Shops 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.26 - Rosamond Rd 93 Maidstone - Shop 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.27 - Rosamond Rd 93 Maidstone - Shop 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5593.28 - Rosamond Rd 95 Maidstone - Service Station 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5593.29 - Rosamond Rd 95A - Shop 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.30 - Rosamond Rd 97 - 103 Maidstone - Shops 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.31 - Rosamond Rd 97 - 103 Maidstone - Shops 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5593.32 - Rosamond Rd 103 Maidstone - Shop 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.33 - Rosamond Rd Maidstone - Rosamond School Annexe 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5593.34 - Rosamond Rd Maidstone - Rosamond School Annexe 2021 Photo 03.JPG 5593.35 - Rosamond Rd Maidstone 77 - 81 - Shops 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5593.36 - Rowe St 1 Maidstone - Former Shops 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5593.37 - Scovell Reserve Maidstone 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5593.38 - Scovell Reserve Maidstone 2021 Photo 04.JPG 5593.39 - Scovell Reserve Maidstone 2021 Photo 05.JPG 5593.40 - Shepherd Gardens Maidstone 2021 Photo 06.JPG mitchell street, omar street, richards street, richelieu street, rogers street, rosamond road, rowe street, maidstone, ice works, consolidated bearing, medway golf course, maidstone church of christ, the palms bingo and club, maidstone telephone exchange, rosamond school annexe, scovell reserve, shepherd gardens -

... A swashbuckling corps of gentlemen rogues, the Musketeers live to antagonize Cardinal Richelieu and sweep every woman in France off her feet. ...In seventeenth-century France, a daring young man defends the queen's honor and tests his skills against the best swordsmen of the day D'Artagnan journeys to Paris armed with nothing but his sword, his courage, and a burning desire to prove his mettle as a member of King Louis XIII's elite guardsmen. A swashbuckling corps of gentlemen rogues, the Musketeers live to antagonize Cardinal Richelieu and sweep every woman in France off her feet. Before d'Artagnan can join their ranks, however, he must distinguish himself on the field of battle. On his first day in the capital, d'Artagnan accidentally offends the honor of three dashing Musketeers--Athos, Porthos, and Aramis--and agrees to duel each one in turn. But before they can match steel, the combatants are interrupted by the cardinal's guards, embroiling d'Artagnan in complex affairs of state, dangerous court intrigues, and a sinister battle against the wily and seductive spy Milady de Winter. A richly detailed historical novel and one of the greatest adventure stories ever told, The Three Musketeers is a masterwork of Western literature.p.587.In seventeenth-century France, a daring young man defends the queen's honor and tests his skills against the best swordsmen of the day D'Artagnan journeys to Paris armed with nothing but his sword, his courage, and a burning desire to prove his mettle as a member of King Louis XIII's elite guardsmen.
