Pemberton Notes on Trout Season and Local Sports

Open season for trout angling looks favorable with over 200 fish caught in 20 days, many weighing around 14 inches and some larger. Fish from Kemte state waters, Escabrook and Lefroy Brook, show strong growth, while ponds in Collie and Pemberton expand acclimatisation efforts.

The Pemberton Cycle Club reports a successful meeting with racing results and standings, highlighting two lap and one mile events with top finishers Cooper, Tunn, Elliott, Rosman, and Freemantle.
