SYDNEY, November 29
About seventeen miles of railway line between Giffs and Kinalong were washed away in a terrific downpour of rain. Railway traffic on the Broken Hill line was also disorganised. The rainfall in the far west is without parallel. Areas that had been dry for years are now inundated as the result of a monsoonal storm. Floods are expected in the Upper Darling river.
