Banana bandit hunt and town pump tale in one column
A ragged mix of local notices and oddities from a provincial page reports a farmer turning down £175 an acre for 300 acres, a couple blessed with fifth twins, orchard conversions in Young district, a £8000 reward for theft in bananas, a Darwin Times boycott, and a disrupted paper supply bound for Singapore. It notes a town pump in Yass long uncleaned, a Bathurst jail concert scene and inmates needing a piano, plus funds being raised for instruments by the Prisoners’ Aid Society.
