War era notes and oddities from Australian towns
Alstonville donated £10000 for patriotic war objects. In Tamore an infant, 20 months, died after burns from boiling water. A Forbes butcher sold top pickings at Jemalong and Waroo stations for up to £32.108 per head. A Brangi lamb was born with four eyes and two months old dead. In three months 298 people in West Maitland were prosecuted for failing to file Federal Income tax returns, fines totaling £664. Rabbits scarce, foxes threaten lambs. One grazer lost every lamb this season.
