Suddenly Beatlemania hit Oz ... We were the envy of many Beatlemaniacs. John [Lennon] had given me a Beatles watch, which I wore constantly. I had my dressmaker make me a special outfit, to my design, to wear to Mascot to farewell the boys ... I began to change after The Beatles tour. I knew something was happening in London that sure as hell wasn't happening in Sydney.
