Gladstone Rainfall Records Through Early 20th Century
A historical rainfall log for Gladstone lists yearly totals from 1894 to 1942 with scattered entries for months in several years and totals around 17.60 inches for the documented period. The data show varying precipitation across years, with multiple anomalous values and notes, reflecting irregular recording practices of the era.
Fire safety tips for farms from bush fire legislation
The document urges farmers to reduce fire risk by clearing stables and grass, storing firefighting gear accessibly, and enforcing compliance with Bush Fires legislation. It stresses avoiding sparks from chimneys and cigarettes near haystacks, crops, or grass paddocks and promotes practical district fire prevention involvement and a safety-first mindset.
