Cobram Irrigation Channel Delay Sparks Government Pressure
At Cobram Progress Association meeting concern rose over slow channel construction for the Yarrawonga Weir driven irrigation scheme. A call urged the Cobram and Nathalia District Irrigation League to press the State Ministry for funds to speed works. With only about seven miles of main canal built, residents fear a hold-up until money is allotted and the Weir completed early 1839, delaying water distribution south of the Murray. Local leagues and public bodies are urged to unite and demand action.
