Mr Dulhunty Reports Rich Plains and Good Yields
Mr R G Ducuexry reports a trip around Breelong Gilgandra and Yollie finding the country in excellent condition. Grazing is plentiful with barley prairie and crowsfoot grasses abundant.

Rabbits are numerous due to plentiful pasture, though grazing is light on young stock.
