The Beastification of Our Park Optimistic Gardener
Port Pirie January 18. We find Vr. G. H. Giles, Central Park gardener, in charge of no improvement to be affected with the local results. Water pressure is low, hindering progress, yet Giles remains optimistic and plans for paths, buffalo grass, roselined borders, and a 30 ft promenade encircling the Rotunda. He notes trees with shallow roots will thrive, seeks windbreak, and counts four workers who take pride in the work. He recalls Broken Hill’s plentiful water supply and hopes for future improvements as the Central Park project evolves toward a blossoming public space.

Dispute Over Hatch Crew at Port Pirie Coal Unloads
At Port Pirie on January 14 a coal carrier with 3.7 tons aboard faced a discharge halt as wharfmen demanded an additional man at each hatch. Captain Jo. Davis of the Commonwealth Shipping Board rejected the demand, arguing it would cause confusion and noting the ship was already under review by authorities. The dispute centers on whether a second deck man is needed to signal and operate the winch and guy lines during unloading. The Board insists on current staffing, while workers warn extra hands are essential for safety and efficiency. The issue follows prior union requests and is tied to broader tensions over labor in the tonnage-constrained Empire setup.
