Inverell cricketers blocked by Transport Act fee
The Transport Act disrupts sports travel as Inverell cricketers miss a key Armidale match due to a lorry transport permit and an £8 10s tax, making road travel costlier than rail and effectively unfeasible for players many of whom are out of work or part time. The effort to obtain concessions failed as officials noted the trip competes with railways. The road route covers 70 miles versus 350 by rail, with only 21 miles paralleling the railway from Guyra to Armidale.
