Fierce Bush Fire Strikes Auto Road District
A very fierce fire swept the northern part of the district last Sunday, driven by strong westerly winds. Grass was dry for weeks and flames advanced rapidly, with high flames and smoke. Several losses were reported: hay and stacks from E Smitherman Taywuard and A Littlewood, large quantities for Mr. McIntyre of Riverstone, and wood from GU Preen. Rain that night averted further damage. Threshing neared completion and farmers reported good yields amid ongoing local activity and community notices.
