Rockton Sports Day Delights With Dance And Dense Entries

The event drew many townspeople, with a noted dance at Brownlie's venue and a day of closely contested races and novelty events raising funds for Bombala Hospital. Winners included George Elton and Moss Brasington in various races, and a range of children and women also triumphed in their heats. The melon race and cigarette race sparked excitement, while prize money totaled 259366.

Lost Seaman Rescued After Four Days in Bush
James O Mahoney, formerly a seaman and delegate, was lost while tracking 13 miles to Tinenbian crossing the Enowy River 40 miles below Dalgety. He entered rough country on the river’s right bank, ran out of food, fell crossing, and reached farmer Walter Reid’s home barely alive after four days without food or proper footwear. He is about 60, has spent four years in Australia at sea, and now recovers with assistance while losing part of his swag from weakness.
