Reports from Darwin describe disorder linked to a patrol by the vessel Albatross and police aid sought to quell disturbances. The Defence Minister, Mr Thorby, dismissed exaggerated newspaper accounts and noted no official police report or public complaints. A radio from the Albatross commander said orders were followed, with the first night calm and the second night crowded patrols. The assault on a Javan youth was not denied by those involved, though neither the youth nor police sought further action.
In a dramatic Leeds Test close, England chase 105 to win after Australia’s bold stand. Bowler O Reilly and Fleetwood Smith resisted, with Payntner’s patient 29 helping England reach the target under cloudy skies. McCormick’s seam and O'Reilly's accuracy dominated, but the final stand secured the five wicket and five run victory amid tense moments.
In Ipswich a 23 year old half caste James William Gordon faced court after a torwich golf club incident.

Exiled Australians and relatives have paid respects during the commemorations.
Mr W Sutewk, acting for the Australian Agriculture Council, plans a September flight to Perth to discuss memorialisation and a tour of Canberra. Visitors respond with interest at the memorial site with wreaths, uniforms, and a steady flow of tourists from northern France. A Boulder event in Villers-Bretonneux featured meetings between descendants of Earl Hale and Marshal Poch. Wreaths from King Lebrun and Dr Page were placed at the memorial tower gates, likely remaining indefinitely as wreaths accumulate from British and Australian groups.
