Description

Australian charity badge duo, where individuals raised funds for worthy causes. Here NSW Railways supported Miss Australia Quest entrant Miss Joan Isaacs and in 1954 Liverpool, Sydney Mardi Gras entrant Miss Rae Dickson. The legendary Mardi Gras Club opened three years later in 1957 and closed in 1971. This badge is a little bit of a mystery as the timeline doesn’t match entirely. Badges measure 2.5cm diameter.
