It notes original five sheep runs and early wheat farming by McCallum and Harry Slapping, plus nearby store and post office ventures by Linn. The narrative ends abruptly with Lunn's drowning.

Big Bitumen Supplies Reach Australian Ports From Egypt
Over 80 000 drums of bitumen arrived at Australian ports aboard two Shell vessels from its Suez refinery. About 40 000 drums went to Victoria with 24 541 drums unloaded at Melbourne in a record shipment. Half the total will go to the Victorian Country Roads Board for road maintenance, chiefly light film spraying to preserve road capital value.
