Mr Jones again

 I'm digging deeper into my box of stamps and have found more items.  Turns out that the Officer in Charge of the various blood specimens is Mr Jones himself, who I think was also keeping the labels for his own stamp collection. He is also a chemist and went on a trip thru NT and the top of QLD. He wrote a letter to his wife on the 31/8/1959 and the letter is still in the envelope. See below.  The tour seems to concentrate on mining and the chemical procedures required.  Familiar towns are described as ramshakle, like Batchelor and the remotest place he went was Normanton where the letter was written. He says please keep the envelope as Normanton is a rare post mark. 

Other points were that Mr Ansett has just bought two blocks up here for a future tourist trap. He thinks fishing will be a big thing, as a 500lb groper was caught off the beach.
