Reflections on Merredin Station and Western Rail Wastage
A writer laments Merredin as a harsh rail junction with poor waiting facilities for women and families. He cites wasted public funds on grand railway works while essential passenger amenities lag, and contrasts local hardship with lavish projects, urging officials to experience the station’s night conditions and rethink spending. The piece covers nearby Nungarin and Lake Brown, notes farming activity, and critiques development promises made to settlers in the backcountry.

Breaking the Bards at Perth Divorce Court
At Perth’s Divorce Court on Monday John Medbury sued Blanche Medbury for divorce on desertion grounds. He testified they married April 23, 1901 at Northam, lived together four years, had two children, and he provided a home. Blanche left August 16, 1905 with the children, later sending word she would not return, living at Dumbleyung as Mrs Ryan. The judge noted the note of the date had little value at the time, and Medbury admitted financial strain and trouble due to Blanche’s dissatisfaction. The court found desertion over five years ago, urged reconciliation unlikely, and granted the divorce with six weeks to finalise.
