New to Australia from the USA on a teacher exchange program in the early 70's Isa and her husband were told the climate was like California. They packed accordingly... and were posted to Lithgow in mid winter.
Isa searched for extra anything to keep them warm and found this wagga in a local op shop. It is only in more recent times Ina has learnt of the history of waggas and the make do element that accompanies them.
