Cobram News Mixed Harvest and River Floods in 1924 Reports
The Cobram district covers varied topics from the Aussie Rough Riders event near Donald's hotel to Wheat Carting damage on roads and delay in Barooga to Cobram metalled road repairs. It notes a cloud of smoke from a Boomanoomana bush fire, heavy rainfall flooding Cobram, and a bumper wheat crop with oats and green feed abundant though some districts report weather stress. The piece also mentions Frank Staples planning to move to Sydney and Yarrawonga ratepayers voting on a 5000 loan for electric light plant expansion.
