THE WINTON HERALD MAYOR’S MESSAGE


THE WINTON HERALD EDITORIALS


FLIPPING BACK THE YEARS

WINTON HERALD 20-1-1935

MAIN STREET TRANSFORMATION

The gradual change being brought in Elderslie Street by the Main Roads Board was marked

during the week by the uprooting of the lamp posts which stood at the intersection of

Oondooroo and Werna Streets. These lamps were of the fuel oil burning variety, mounted on

iron posts set in substantial square concrete bases. These were erected in October 1918 and

operated until the beginning of 1926 when the electric lighting plant began to function.

Since they have been allowed to stand and proceed very serviceable in compelling what traffic

to follow the correct side of the road when taking these corners.

Some residents also used the flat concrete stands as seats and many contentious subjects

have been thrashed out there. It is understood traffic mounds will be laid down at these

intersections, but they will not give the same “touch” as the old functional lamp posts.

WINTON HERALD - 1928

In 1928 Walt Disney’s famous Invention-The Mickey Mouse Cartoon arrived at the Lyric Open

Air, Earthen Floor Picture Theatre (with a mini golf course) which opened in Oondooroo Street

behind Willets café on the corner of Elderslie Street and Oondooroo Streets.

To advertise coming attractions-apart from “posters” on Bill Boards (promptly stripped off

and eaten by goats) Gidyea Taylor, of whom the children were fond of, used to carry

Billboards over his shoulders (front and back) advertising and heralding his approach by

ringing his bell. Sometimes he dressed up to suit the particular attraction. These “town criers”

as they were known, were in most towns. A Miss Clancy played for the silent movies.

The Lyric Silent Movie Theatre closed down when Mr Menzels at the Royal Theatre started

showing motion pictures.

WINTON HERALD - 19th November 1947

An old Winton Landmark was pulled down by carpenters last week.

This was the Dicks Creek Hotel, located near some sixty miles from Winton-Kynuna Road. This

building stood there for many years, and served firstly the travellers on horseback, and they

catered for shearing teams.

These buildings were owned by Corfield & Fitzmaurice who intends to build a shearing shed at

Mountain View with the material obtained from the site.
