Hop Wah Estate Sale Expected Strong Interest
The Hop Wah Estate sale set for December 1st draws keen inquiries as auctioneers Mesers A J Draper Ltd anticipate a strong result. The land’s soil excellence and proximity to Carns, plus easy terms, are cited as factors boosting demand. A cyclone earlier damaged a local Church of England, prompting a push for prayer books and hymnals with Owen Whittick Bookseller offering replacements in Cairns. A Cairns Railway Fund benefit dance at the Aquatic Club Hall raised likely over £100 for the fund, with Mrs A Moore as president and Mrs S Brickhill organizing catering and volunteers. The crowd praised the event’s success and speakers.
