Inter-District Summary of Community Events and Incidents
An Inter-District summary reports Red Cross Day events at Kangaroo Valley where an ugly man competition raised over £20. It notes eight months of rain followed by a spell of fine weather last week. A 214 year old child injured on a gate at Quirindi after a hinge and post crash. In Wilcannia a 124lb fish donated by Miss Mitselberg to the Red Cross brought £400 at auction. Hawkes and Daskein of Modern Station were the leading prrehmsere at £100. A farmer in the Orange district faced a swarm of bees with the queen landing on him, causing the horses to bolt. The man left and returned to box the bees, while a garbled line references a tonic for children and a peppermint cure product.
