1934 This Week’s Winning Letter. A Holiday in Northam. 29 Oakover-street, East Fremantle. Dear Auntie Kitty,— I have been on a visit to the country, and spent an enjoyable holiday at Northam. On the way we saw National Park and all Its beauty. As we were nearing the tunnel we put the windows up to keep the dust from getting in. When we arrived at Chidlows we had refreshments, and the train waited there for ten minutes. As soon as we left Chidlows we saw rabbits running about in the paddocks. At Northam a taxi was waiting to take us out to the corner of Irishtown-road. As soon as we got there we had tea, and then my two cousins and myself went to bed. We were very glad to get to bed because the train journey is very tiring. The next morning we went mushrooming, but did not find any. Mother, Jean, Valda, grandma and I went to town, which was two-mile walk. It seemed rather funny after Fremantle, to see the quiet place. The following day we went up on a hill and looked down and saw the river with the shadows of the trees in the water. It looked beautiful. We went to a farm to get some butter, and stayed there all day. On Saturday we went to the pictures. I remain, yours sincerely, Mavis Sweetman. (reference)
