The Countrywoman in New South Wales, 1 October 1941
"Tips for Good Netting"
Women from the CWA volunteered to make camouflage nets for the Australian Defence Force.
A section of this publication was digitised as part of the Fortress Newcastle project. The edition exists in its entirety with the University of Newcastle's Special Collections archive.
The Countrywoman in New South Wales journal was first published in 1938. Each edition would remark on world events, most especially Australia and Britain's involvement in World War II, and events and activities undertaken by regional branches of the CWA (Country Women's Association) in NSW. Newcastle and other groups across the Greater Hunter region were included in these editions. The publication of these journals throughout World War II provides insight into life on the home front and the war-time contributions of regional and rural Australian women.
