Jenny G - Since I don't know in which library you're working I checked the 3 catalogues I found in Sydney.
How did it begin is available at
University of Sydney Library
University of Western Sydney, Libraries, Voyager

Another work by the same author at University of Technology, Library, Sydney:
Brasch, R. (Rudolph), 1912-
There's a reason for everything : more customs and superstitions and how they all began / R. Brasch. - [Sydney] : Fontana, Collins, 1982

Giving the original remarks would surely prove more convenient for our English customers than my rather helpless abstract.
