Longreach Diggers protest executive alteration of Barcaldine dates and seek fair spacing between meets. Barcaldine Diggers' postponement was approved after debate on timing, rules, and impact on other clubs, including Longreach, Blackall, Aramac, and Muttaburra.
The Edkins Shield, dubbed the Davis Cup of the Central West, will be contested at Aramac on Sunday September 4. Longreach, Barcaldine and other towns field strong teams with veterans like L Sanders and W Savage, and new players A Avain and H O'Brien. The trophy, donated in 1912 by the late Mr R H Edkins, has a storied history with eight towns sharing wins across the years.
Mr F T Moore valued allotment 2 section 14 town of Longreach at £100. The shire clerk noted it had never been valued before and was not rateable, but it must be valued. £100 was the valuation. The chairman said the court should adopt the valuation as given.
