Mixed sports day aids Walcha cricket ground funds
A Friday mixed sports day at Mr R Laurie's property drew about two hundred attendees to raise funds for improvements on the new cricket ground. Races and events featured riders like R McInnes and D Lynch, with young Mullen winning six events. Net proceeds totaled £20 aided by local business trophies and a Nowendoc lunch, followed by a note on daffodils noting over 6000 varieties today versus 1629.

Sargosso Sea Terror Myth Debunked by Museum Exhibit
An expert from the Natural History Museum, South Kensington, found no evidence of a deadly Sargasso Sea terror. After months of study, exhibits show vast floating vegetation in green and yellow patches, not a impenetrable mass. The claim that ships cannot pass through lacks scientific basis.
