Correspondence on Spicer's Creek Wellington Road Repair
A local correspondent urges the Shire Council to fund permanent road work on Spicer's Creek Wellington Road between Ker's Creek and Lincoln. He notes temporary repairs last year failed, storms washed away material, and gravel drainage would reduce future costs while preventing an impassable route in a wet winter. The letter stresses ongoing traffic and mail coach use.

A Laughing Tale of Drunk Dogs and Airship Dreams
A humorous reminiscence recounts two dogs intoxicated after a Sunday drinking spree and sold to a new master, with Wellington whisky blamed. The narrator then meets eccentric characters, including a supposed air ship inventor, a Sunshine Harvester joke, and a young dairy maid, weaving memory, dignity, and romantic longing into a comic, rambling tale.
