Waterside Notes on Kwinana Cattle Losses and Wharf Strife
The State Steamship Department faces a cattle mortality crisis aboard the Kwinana after rapid onloading at Wyndham, blamed on heat from tropical weather. Enquiry urged as losses mount, with disruptions to Fremantle timber, wharf works, and wage disputes heaping pressure on the port. Shipping schedules hold steady as arrivals and butter shipments, including 3,565 boxes worth £610,000 from Indarra, highlight ongoing trade, while ships like Scharnhorst and Mooltan prepare to dock or depart Fremantle.

Fremantle king Watson aids farmers and dairy officials, earning praise for community effort. Richardson’s 1500 acre paddock is now segmented into blocks near Cockburn Sound with a naval base planned, promising a land rush if prices stay reasonable.
