An old account describes the discovery of a giant parasitic plant, Raffiesin Arnoldi, on the larger islands of the archipelago. The plant grows from host tissues, with a walnut sized flower that later swells into a large structure. Collected specimens were preserved in spirit, revealing both open flowers and seed forms.
A witness in the Australian Royal Commission on Pastoral Development discusses rabbit numbers and control in the Murchison region, water abundance, costs of vermin fencing, and poison versus traps. The talk covers grazing conditions, stock routes, railway freight, taxation impacting pastoral leases, and calls for streamlined administration to support the industry amid fox predation and evolving tenure.
The report contains broken text about sheep, acreage, and costs, mentioning 20 000 sheep and 200 000 acres, with references to August 1937 events in Northampton. It hints at local employment through road or town planning and production, but most details are unreadable.
The Western Australian view finds a surplus of £34 556 from a year ending June 30 with state totals varying across Victoria Western Australia and other states.
