Notable Oddities From Armidale Newsroom: Giants, Dogs and Bucks
A collection of short, cleaving items from Armidale and district reports: a potato of 8 feet in length weighs 83 4 lb, a wild dog killed near Annandale was a dingo-staghound cross, Bathurst rabbits fetch high prices, naval oranges from Young district measure 15 and 16 inches in circumference, and a large Up-to-Date potato bunch weighs 16 1 2 lb. Grosvenor the black tracker returns a £50 note, then £6 to the owner. The Armidale P P Board has paid £1550 for fox bonuses since November 1917, for about 12,000 foxes, now stopping payments except 2s 6d for cubs.
