A reader calls for a small one to two foot wide channel in the Greenough River to replenish stagnant water, support spawning groups for mullet and other fish, and provide oyster habitat. The writer cites prior government caution but urges local volunteers to form a working bee to dig the channel, ensuring a continual water flow and improved local wellbeing.
A public notice invites interested parties to a reading at Narra Tarra regarding a railway issue near Ryan's Well. A correspondent quotes a resident who objects to actions by a mover and questions the counsel of a Beans member who supported the plan for a Sunday night band concert.
