Weather Blasts Town as Sports Abandon Games and Property Sags
Last weekend brought a blustering, showery calamity that ruined tennis cricket and swimming events, leaving only betting shops. Winds toppled fruit and caused widespread minor damage as isolated waterspouts appeared on farms. E C Nankivell's Bundaleer hillside area flooded, Minyara reported severe downpours bogging two cars, and there were complaints of unseasonable swimsuits and hunger. Herb Lehmann sold his place at a profitable clearing sale, while Murray Phillis lies hospitalised for treatment in Crystal Brook.
