Corowa Jubilee Show Recalls Gold Rush Era Footnotes
A 1926 Corowa Jubilee Show supplement recalls Wahgunyah and Rutherglen as key Murray River ports during the gold era. It notes steamer trade from Echuca, the Customs House at Wahgunyah, and historic firms Caldwell and Co. It mentions community figures like Mr. Foord, J. D. Reid, and H. F. Lowe, and recalls the old hostelry and local racing and agricultural society efforts that shaped the region.
