Geraldton district eyes freezing works for meat export
The Geraldton area long nurtured sheep and wheat farming aims to diversify through chilling works to supply metropolitan meat. A staged plan would begin with limited local flocks, build up fat lambs, and target a profitable export trade while boosting district welfare and bank stability. Local notes report on probate, postal changes, wool handling, and rising wheat stocks, with community events, church services, and civic meetings interwoven.
