Forty Years Ago Highlights From Areas Express 1890 Notes
The November 14 1890 Areas Express recalls Sergeant Sampson sailing to Melbourne for rifle matches on the 17th. It also cites a 1885 telegram about Parliament approving 80 000 pounds for the Beetaloo water scheme and notes a 1800 social in Gladstone celebrating dam construction with 54 000 cubic yards of concrete. Cricket scores from Belalie, Gladstone, and Crystal Brook show totals and individual tallies.
