BUNGONIA.-The Aurora Australis appeared in the sky on Sun- day night and made a grand spectacle of brilliant colours. When first seen the light was coloured from salmon to a shade of green, with splashes of blue amongst the water colours. Then it changed to the colours of a rainbow. On the Goulburn road on Saturday night a car travelling at a fast speed failed to take the sharp turn between the two bridges over Spring Ponds Creek and ran over the embankment. No one was seriously injured and a car was brought from Goulburn to repair the damage to the car.

HISTORICAL RECORDS. BUNGONIA WANTS REPRESENTATION. Bungonia District Progress Association wrote to the Mulwaree Shire Council on Wednesday, asking "that in the compilation of historical records the following places be not over-looked:-Old gaol at Reevesdale, near Bungonia; toll-bar gateposts along the Inverary road; old police station, or rather old courthouse, in Bungonia; and Larbert tree, which stands at the junction of Win- dellama ( now Oallen Ford Rd ) and Tarago road ( now Lumley Rd ), three miles from Bungonia." The communication was re- ferred to the engineer for investigation.

HORSES BOLT A little before dinner eight or nine of the Governor's horses had taken fright and galloped away, disappearing in the direction from which the party had come. All the horses except two were recov- ered, some being found on the return journey by the aborigines, who, according to the narrative, "possessed the faculty of vision beyond anything I could conceive." It is on record that towards the end of 1819 Charles Throsby sent a large herd of cattle to what was evidently Gundary Plains, but what he referred to as the south -western lands of the cowpastures. In March, 1820 - five months later, 12 head of the cattle were turned into store and were found to average 750lb in weight. Some turned the scales at 900lb. There is an interesting story of the discovery of a shorter route to Goulburn, this saving travellers of the day a journey of 12 miles. In 1822 a Mr. Hall was returning from Lake Bathurst by cart to his hut in the centre of the Goulburn Plains. On the advice of a young man named Riley, Hall took the shorter track, which became known as Riley's road. CORROBOREE In 1832 a big aboriginal corroboree was held on the Goulburn Plains, and in the same year a disease known as Black Leg broke out and played havoc with the grazing cattle. Early visitors to the Plains included Rev. Fr. Therry, who arrived in the Thirties, and Archbishop Polding, who made the trip in the Forties.
