The Grass Thief and the Hodgson Family Feud
In colonial Queensland a drought adds pressure as Hungry Hodgson forbids his daughter from Sydney travel while Nebine Ned the grass pirate and Kennedy the Gulf drover plot to steal or move stock. The night scene follows a tense cattle yard watch and the clever grazing raid on Tampoona’s horse paddock.

Nebine Ned outwits gang in a high country cattle raid
Nebine Ned Kennedy plans to free his stock before three, racing through moonlit plains with Hungry Hodgson’s men in pursuit. A daring swap by Miss Buttinski yields the mob’s capture. Ned defeats the rival horses by misdirecting the riders and escapes, winning the rifle backed by a swift exchange of cash.
Allied Victory Expected, Four Months, Says Economist

Suggested $1,000,000 Lottery Plan Featured by Courier Mail
A Brisbane man proposes a mammoth nationwide lottery with one million tickets at £1 each. Of £1,000,000 raised, £500,000 would fund defence or patriotic needs, £500,000 paid as prizes, including four £50,000 prizes, six £10,000 prizes, eight £5,000 prizes, and 100 £1,000 prizes. The remainder funds smaller prizes and expenses, with calls to tax exemptions and loans backed by half of large prizes.
