1893

For Sale.
Four roomed weatherboard house with kitchen and dairy attached (a kitchen?! be still my beating heart!).
3 Milch cows, 5 young cattle, 2 springers and scarifiers (what?! no partridge in the pear tree?).
Apply to Mrs Hawkins at Bromley.

Miss Margaret Taig of Tarnagulla would have just rattled all of that off had we but asked her.
But, alas, she was busy elsewhere.
Probably milking the cows....
