BIG BUSH, FIRES
Sheep Country HavocTwelve big -bush fires are raging over about one-eighth of Queensland’s 670,500 square miles.
“One, roaring along a 120-mile front, has already burned out more than 2,000,000 acres of the best sheep country in South- West Queensland. It has travelled 70 miles in three weeks.
Police say that no towns are threatened yet by the fires, but stock losses are expected to be heavy.”
