As someone who is Queensland born and bred, I honestly don’t know how women didn’t die of heat exhaustion dressing like this day in, day out. Even Winter is t-shirt weather here, for crying out loud.
And I’d love to know who she was- local history is a bit of a passion of mine as my ancestors were a fairly prominent pioneering family here in Brisbane.
