Floodwaters cut Renmark, Moorook and Lower Murray towns from aid. A truck triggered the collapse amid levee work, isolating 17 patients and three babies at Renmark hospital. Boats serve the town until a Bailey bridge arrives. 2.5 million pounds of property already flooded and recovery may take years.

Queanbeyan Ultimatum To Sport Clubs

Queanbeyan Municipal Council may ban sporting organisations from using nearly completed dressing sheds in Queanbeyan Park. The council backed a recommendation by Engineer R. Guy to bar use unless groups that built the sheds finish work by September 30. Much volunteer labour was promised but little progress this year. The Department of Local Government granted funds and now refuses to advance other grants while part of the current grant remains idle.
