8 Aug 1942, Barbara Anslow's diary

'Amateur Nite' concert.  Gimson made good speech at the end. Danny Wilson (Peggy's husband) amazingly good in impressions.  People lying back on the grass in the darkness, smoking.  Lightning sometimes.  Hottest day we've had.

Swimming, I wore new yellow bathing costume made this afternoon from Welfare shirt. Olive and Mabel have blue ones.  Mum's old Jantzen bathing costume is in camp.  ((Mum saw it hanging on the clothes line in the courtyard, and recognised it by its large size and the huge button she had sewn on it as the original one was too small)).   Mrs Fisher has it, she got it from Mrs Greenberg who died early on in camp, who apparently got it from the matshed at Repulse Bay ((where we kept our swimming gear pre-war))

Row with Mrs G about space in room.
