I am looking for a shipping label that the Sisters of Mercy would have had on their travelling trunks when they migrated to Australia. I work at Sacred Heart College Geelong which was set up up the Sisters of Mercy on 18th April 1860 so we are celebrating our 150th anniversary next year. We are making 4 bollards to represent the nun’s who started the school and one of them will have a travelling case on which we would like to have labels that mention her departure point and arrival point. Are you able to help in any way? It would be very much appreciated by the group of students who are making these bollards with a visiting artist. Thanks, Julie
