The Cut-Out Meeting and the Wild Day at the Yard
A reminiscence of a rural fundraising cut-out with cricket, a concert, and a shearing sale. Horses yarded for races, betting by station hands, and the Shearers Ball shaped the social scene. The author recalls guile, modest profits, and a lively, rough economy supporting hospitals and local benefit funds.
