Haxton was invited by Qantas airlines to travel internationally, all expenses paid, with an agreement that they could use any two of her resulting drawings for advertisements. During this trip, she was lucky enough to see Isfahan before the revolution in Iran. Although Qantas did not use any of her drawings, she later turned many of them into oils.
