Alan Flett recalls: My farther installed and operated the public address systems at Bathurst, Catalina Park and Amaroo Park starting with Bathurst in 1947. This didn't leave him with much time for photography but some how he managed to take a few at Bathurst in 1947. I just love the suites and the Sunday best clothes.
