Quinn’s Bridge over Balcombe Creek to be rebuilt
It will be remembered that a steam roller crushed through this bridge some months ago.
THE Country Roads Board has accepted Mr. H. H. Bell’s tender of £2,501/1/4 for the construction of the Nyora Mile section of the Pt. Nepean road. The work lies within the Mornington Shire.
IT is freely rumoured that, with the advent of the electrification of the railway, thereby bringing Frankston closer to the city, several prominent city establishments are contemplating the opening of branches at Frankston.
Moran and Cato Pty. Ltd., probably the largest manufacturing and distributing grocers in the Southern Hemisphere, are amongst those mentioned in that respect.
Explore the Peninsula’s famous fresh produce at Hawkes Farm
Words by Arielle Richards
Taste the region’s finest offerings at this award-winning farm.
Hawkes Farm Shop is the ultimate one-stop-shop for everything locally grown on the Peninsula. The family-run Boneo business has the humblest of origins, having its roots in just a few bags of spuds and an honesty box.
The shop now stocks fresh produce from all over the Mornington Peninsula, including, of course, its own award-winning Kipfler potatoes (which you might’ve had the pleasure of sampling at Australia’s premium restaurants).
While many of the region’s farmers and producers supply their goods around the nation, they don’t sell direct. That’s where Hawkes Farm comes in, doing their bit to make local produce available to everyone.
Bank manager grows ‘very fine’ potatoes
A VERY fine sample of potatoes has been brought under “The Standard’s” notice by Mr A. E. Lasslett.
These potatoes, grown merely as a hobby for private use by Mr Lasslett at the State Savings Bank, Frankston, were of the Carmen variety, and two weighed about 2½ lbs each, whilst the whole plot is likewise good.
The seed was not prepared or inoculated in any way, which is further proof of what the soil is really capable of in this district.
MR Tom Perridge, the Tooradin sportsman, had another successful day at the Mornington gymkhana with his fine mare, Miss Maori.
