Bowden Continues Long Contract For Mail Route
The article notes that the mail service from Wateha Road to Walcha began about a year ago and has since seen governance by Bawiten of Waloha and then his son C. S. Bowden.

The late Mr. Rawdieth formerly owned the horses and coach, but with the advent of motor cards Bowden took control and maintains the ongoing family service, aiming to provide a stable tenure for one family over 50 years.
