Summary

Lady Hackett in her role as Lady Mayoress hammering a peg into a lawn for the 'Hidden Treasure' game at a charity Kindergarten Fete, held on the Government House grounds, Adelaide on Saturday 13 November 1920. Participants in the game could buy a stick for a shilling, placing it in the lawn in the 'hidden treasure' field where £1 notes had been hidden, with those whose sticks were closest to the money, winning the prize. The Kindergarten Fete was organised by the Lady Mayoress (Lady Hackett) and a committee of ladies under the auspices of the South Australian Kindergarten Union, to raise funds for the free Kindergarten institutions in the metropolitan area. This image was published along with other photographs of the kindergarten fete in the 'Observer', Saturday 20 November 1920, page 23, with the caption 'Lady Hackett trying her luck'. See article 'For the children: successful kindergarten fete', in 'The Journal', Saturday 13 November 1920, page 11, for more details.
