A long OCR fragment describes a sale led by auctioneer George Hodges covering stock at station, mining and forwarding businesses, plus land parcels. It lists locations, figures, companies, and names including Albert, Somers, Selby, and D'Aponte. The document references properties, rates, and terms with multiple mentions of sale at public auction and registered offices in Mackay.
