This is one of the first iterations of the Simon Townsend's Wonder World! magazine insert from The Australian Women's Weekly 'For the Children' section.
This page is from 23 August 1978 and has been kept in one of five scrapbooks compiled by Simon Townsend. It has the familiar Wonder World! logo at the top and features an interesting array of amazing facts and stories that have been cleverly illustrated.
Helen Mirren played Sara Winchester, mentioned in one of the stories here, in the 2018 film Winchester, directed by Australian brothers Michael and Peter Spierig.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
