Queen Victoria Homes, Wentworth Falls

Notes: the entrance driveway, white structure on left is a Stevenson Screen for temperature observations. Ken mentions this is a letter accompanying the slides in 2014 - "QVH served as a data collection station for the weather bureau. I had the onerous task of recording readings from our weather station and compiling a monthly report. It was fun averaging thirty readings without a calculator. I often wonder how accurate it was."
