Westernport ‘cut up by land sharks’
IN criticising the Westernport Development and Decentralisation League, a Melbourne journal says:
“As regards Westernport, the land sharks have cut up and sold to the credulous, ‘desirable residential and factory sites’ by the thousands, so they at least have ceased to have any interest in the place …. There has never been any sincerity behind any of these decentralisation proposals.”
All we can say is that there ought to be, for Westernport is one of the most neglected of all the natural ports in the world.
SPEAKING of the dangerous air currents in certain parts of Australia, Major T. H. Shaw, the aviator, regards the country at Dromana as the most tricky for air currents, especially near Arthur’s Seat.

In October 1898 a woman was found dead in a lagoon on the outskirts of the town of Forbes in NSW. She was identified as Ada Foster, 35, a mother of four.
What few people in the town knew was that the dead woman was actually Kate Kelly, the sister of notorious bushranger Ned Kelly. What was Kate doing in Forbes â 370 kilometres west of Sydney and 470 kilometres from her Kelly clan in north-east Victoria? Was her death murder, suicide or an accident?
âShe deserved betterâ: Rebecca Wilson, author of a new book about Ned Kellyâs sister Kate, with one of her paintings of Kate.
