He said that a Mr Morely of Malbooma Station, was interested in building the road and it was suggested the most suitable route was from Malbooma passing east of Mt Finke to the dog gate near R Nicholls’ property in the Hd of Goode, a distance of approx 130 miles. It was resolved to write to Mr Morely offering this council’s assistance regarding the linkup with the district road in the Hd of Goode…
