Notes
General note
"Weird and wonderful Sydney" caption: "Even the latest Univac computer installed here by Bankstown Council was susceptible to human error. In June 1970, a computer miscalculation nearly cost the council $12,000, when its garbage and sanitary collections (dubbed 'the golden garbos') were overpaid. Fortunately, the workers repaid the money"
