Video - Here & Now with Suzy (1975)

Below is a 5 minute program produced by the ABC on the Fair for the "Here & Now with Suzy" program. Based on feedback from local Woollahra residents, we believe this program was filmed in 1975. It features interviews with Fair organiser Leo Schofield, cartoonist Larry Pickering and actor Reg Livermore, who was judging the stalls.
