Ravenhoe Notes on Weather and Local Happenings
Gentle rains barely reached the township where dust dominates the landscape. Timber trade remains the main local business as residents repair North Cedar Creek dam. A Queensland Farmers Union meeting drew no attendees amid other chores. Fruit crops suffer from frosts. berries appear if a plantation exists, while magpies consume what little fruit remains. Shows in Tableland and Cairns are finished as residents return from the coast seeking work.
