Historical information

Photo of a display of hand made toys (wooden trains, doll cribs, children's chairs, soft balls and dolls made by Victorian school children). Above them is a sign "I'm a set of wheels for a lucky boy". Appears to be gifts at a Christmas party for Junior Legatees. For many years Melbourne Legacy held Christmas parties for junior legatees - the children of deceased servicemen, often hosted by the Governor at Government House.
It came from a Legacy envelope marked P7, 1966. It was an early attempt at building an archive. The contents were described in red pen as:
1 Christmas Party / Govt House
2 Toy presentation Dept of Education
3 Residence Christmas party
3 HMAS Cerberus / Operation Float / Operation Firewood (added in blue pen).
(these other items will be items 00411 to 00416)
