Weather and rural notes from the Shire in June
Rain fell again yesterday afternoon pushing the June total to 269 points since the 1st. Crops and especially hay benefit from the wet spell while rye grass growth accelerates. The P and C dance was spoiled by rain and the juvenile event was abandoned on Saturday night. Cobborasie Council contemplates sweet briar control though briars are scarce in the Shire. Common trustees battle boxthorn and onion along the Shire road. Mr S Sullivan of College Green ships fine mobs of sheep to Maryvale for market. Rabbits have declined while hares remain fairly numerous. The Maryvale to Gulgong line construction advances rapidly toward Spicer’s Creek with fencing near Glen Mitchell and ample sand and crushed metal at Mitchell’s Creek bridge site. Rock cutting blasting is winding down and the line should reach Gulgong within six months. The route likely brings little benefit to Wellington. Today is warm and feeds should grow well. Sparrows have returned in large numbers after a quiet period. An Shire officer learned there is a rubbish tip and garbage depot gazetted when Bodangora flourished.
