Daredevil Durkins Wall of Death Star at Gloucester Jubilee Rodeo
Frank Durkin and sister June travel with a theatrical act called Wall of Death, where Frank has broken multiple bones in about twenty years of danger ridden shows. They tour by caravan across Australia, riding a 250 pound racing bike at 40 mph around a circular wall, with Durkin claiming most riders blackout on first attempts and that women are tougher in the ring. The couple, along with their extended show family, find endurance and constant travel their life, with the dangerous rides attracting big money.

Proposal to control benzedrine sales in state act
Health Minister M O’Sullivan told the Gordon MP H B Turner that the State Government may amend the Poisons Act to regulate benzedrine. He said current laws under the Police Offences Act do not cover the drug and that the Health Department could only seek to list it as a poison, with purchases requiring a prescription.
