Man Killed While Returning Home From Warwick
John Newling a 31 year old linesman and installation mechanic died after a fall from an electric pole near Boorowa NSW.

He was well liked by workmates and had recently been in contact about resuming his job. The Newlings had lived in Warwick about nine months and their daughter Sonia attended Central School.
