Wool value fell by about 3,270,000 pounds in 1951-52 as lower prices reduced revenue from Longreach. The year saw 10,874 bales raised, with July to August activity peaking and January and June the slowest months. Incoming goods rose overall while outgoing goods declined, signaling drought and tighter finances.
At the Longreach Cricket Association annual meeting retiring president Mr. F Moore urged strengthening foundations of Western cricket to foster spirit and fellowship. He noted a successful season with four teams and emphasized developing B Grade play to nurture younger players despite limited fixtures.
The association discussed a credit balance of £39 19s 9d and a debit balance of 10. The treasurer Myers reported. Costs for soft drinks ran to £92 with receipts of £106.
