Elaine Swatridge undertook her teacher's practice placement at Wumbulgal
School in 1963, where her brother George Clay taught from '63 - '65.
Recently
she revisited the School, which has been a part of Griffith Pioneer Park Museum for
decades. Elaine said it brought back two memories: heat and the sound of
blowflies.
George
Clay acted in local productions and went on to study art in Sydney
before teaching the teaching students in Armidale, where one of his
paintings is held by the regional gallery.
