Thai Olympic Team visited GMH factory as part of a visit to Australia (I assume during 1956 Olympics? ???).  Purpose was probably twofold- to highlight GMH's sponsorship and supply of vehicles to the Olympic Games, and to celebrate the fact that Holdens had recently begun being exported to Thailand.

PS:  Is it Fishermens Bend or Fishermans Bend  ???

Members of Thailand's Olympic team visited the General Motors Holdens Pty Ltd plant at Fishermen's Bend, Victoria. Interest in the plant was heightened by the fact that the Holden motor car is now being exported to Thailand - Mr Sud Chundakowsolay, one of Thailand's boxers, at the wheel of the F E Special Holden.
