"Hundreds of people who have been through the fires are so exhausted and mentally affected that their days are spent aimlessly."
The Sun News-Pictorial

Terrible Toll
16 January 1939

There has been a terrible toll of horses, cattle and sheep. Native animals and birds probably have died in millions.

Hundreds of people who have been through the terrible experience of the fires are so exhaunsted and mentally affected that their days are spent aimlessly in the towns where they have taken refuge.

[SNP, 16/1/39]
