Sydney Morning Herald, 16/3/1954 - article on the Border Loop - of interest is the mention of housing shortages - looks like nothing's changed in the last 70 or so years!

Peter Lee :

Those who worked the boxes on the Coast will remember the Seven Day Lamp with mixed emotions.
The Up Homes at The Border were on a specially short post so as to be visible from Queensland.
Most would consider he drainage to be a bit neglected.
On this quiet 1984 Sunday, I am in the possession of a T6 300 form, issued by the SWSA at The Border, who has left the Up Home Cleared for Number Two, and is signing off. I'm taking the TIC back to Glenapp
