Two Shire Councils back public holiday for NZ rugby visit
At a CWRL meeting only Barcaldine and Blackall Shire Councils signalled support for a public holiday on 18 June for the New Zealand Rugby League tour. Other shires declined and Winton also opposed the plan. The meeting discussed admission charges, junior age limits, neutrality in chairing, and train arrangements for the Blackall and Winton routes.
