The Baccoo Speaks
Violence is the order of the day, because just about every individual who operates outside the law can lay hands on an instrument of death. Issues are settled every other way other than negotiation. The result is that the police would have their hands busy when a group of men attack a home in which one of their opponents had sought refuge.
Bullets would fly and an innocent person would die. The assailants would be caught but eyewitnesses would recant later on.

Another river accident looms. A boat travelling into the goldfields would collide with another heading in the opposite direction. The result of the collision would be inexperience and a disregard for the laws governing the rivers. There would be no casualties this time.

Road fatalities continue at a rate that defies logic. Indeed there are more cars on the streets but at the same time motorists should exercise greater caution. This is not the case.
A pedestrian would be struck on a pedestrian crossing on the eastern carriageway. And following on that would be an accident involving a speeding truck and a car.
