Hobart Weather Birds [Judy Morris / Felicity James]No. 203 July 1973Last month we published part of a newspaper report on the women mets. in W.A. Region. This month, to spread things around a bit (and advance the cause of Women's Lib.) we have reprinted part of an article from the Hobart Mercury: For most People the weather is a subject of conversation - for two women at the Hobart Weather Bureau it's a job. Judy Morris of Sandy Bay, and Felicity James of Old Beach, are the "weather birds." They are duty forecastersjust part of the 14 meteorologist, staff employed by the Hobart bureau.
