Lure of Gold: A Mine Tale at Martin's Creek
Reverend C L Oliver relays a remarkable tale of men who value gold for its own sake. Three brothers near Moonan Flat rediscover a reef at Martin's Creek and wash gold from a small stamp battery. They hoard large quantities in bottles and containers, keeping only a minimal share for basic needs. The story accompanied a fund-raising talk for Colour Park at St Matthew's Gundy, which seeks funds for piping and drought relief.

Accident prevention urged to ease industry burden
In New South Wales the rising cost of accidents shows higher medical bills from 1981-32 to 1933-34 and more injuries causing seven days off work. Authorities quote Hutton and Grace on prevention benefits and urge public and industry action with the Safety League advocating alertness today for tomorrow. A novel Stanthorpe case notes a solicitor’s lack of practising certificate leading to a struck out summons and £14 8s 6d costs against the defendant.
