Wind Gusts Halt Sports as City Faces Fierce Weekend
Strong winds up to a fraction of earlier highs disrupted events across the city and nearby Canberra. A large tree fell at 1.40 pm near a car driven by Norma Ferguson in Adelong causing minor damage while loose tin sheets and shed roofs were blown about in higher areas. Tennis and cricket endured the gusts with few matches postponed, as officials noted conditions the worst in a decade yet temperatures remained below normal and rainfall lingered.
