Family Memories

 

"The ARGUS"
(Melbourne, Vic) Saturday 25 December 1915.

Fires in the country
DOOKIE - A fire, believed to be started by a passing traction engine, broke out on a road at Katandra North, and rapidly spread in Mr F.A. Batey's property. The fire quickly burned its way over about 7 acres of stubble, and entered a paddock containing a growing crop, where stripping operations were being carried on. Fortunately, with a change to the wind, the flames were turned towards a fallowed paddock, where they were extinguished. The loss substained by Mr Batey was about a quarter of an acre of crop burned and about 10 bags of wheat partly charred.
