Content Summary:

This series consists of one file. The file contains material that Byrne had compiled in a manilla folder marked '1982'. It was left intact as it appeared that the contents related to particular events of significance to Byrne which took place in that year. The material comprises predominantly newspaper clippings concerning Byrne's exhibition at the Blaxland gallery, his plans for a nationwide school project involving lectures to school children, funds from sales of badges to go towards the building of the flying replica of the Southern Cross and the his old school reunion. There is some correspondence intermingled with the newspaper clippings.
