Thirty-four people housed in sixteen little tents celebrated the destruction of the hut. | + | \\ The official trip was to Blue Gum Forest, led by Dorothy Lawry armed with a huge sledge hammer and a crow bar, which were intended for the demolition of the hut erected by the unemployed workers down there, and generally considered as undesirable.
