Golf reform for country courses
The piece argues country golf clubs face high capital needs to build and maintain orthodox courses with lawn-like fairways. It suggests a preferred lie rule to allow relief within a club’s length, potentially enabling 18-hole courses with modest funds. Benefits cited include improved play, broader membership access, and reduced material waste, while noting objections about preserving tradition and ball placement.

Two Fish On One Hook In Ballina Stream
A Ballina resident caught a fair-sized bream and a flathead weighing 12 3d on a single hook using No 4 gut. The flathead likely struck the bream mid haul, with the bream’s fin catching the flathead. A Sherman tale recalls two fish on one hook at Ballina months earlier. Also see up-to-date radio prospects from VICTOR Radio and Paling’s Sydney battery sets offer.

Thunderbolt the outlaw in Maitland tales from 1893
The late Robert Carruthers recounted encounters with the bushranger Thunderbolt after his Cockatoo Island escape. Stories describe Thunderbolt hiding in a stable near the Metropolitan Hotel in West Maitland, sharing food with boys, and holding up toll-bars on the Main Northern Road before fleeing toward Lambs Valley. The piece notes other alleged exploits, including interactions with Joseph Bradbury and a cattle theft case at Murrurund. It also mentions a Newcastle Herald preservation item about Thunderbolt’s mantelpiece crafted by Jack Thompson in Sydney.
