Notes for Alfred John Metcalf:

“…..There was a very big piece of road leading past the Tenendra w.w. Last week

the Illabo Shire sent along its grader in charge of Mr Metcalf . in a few days the

grader transformed the road into a carriage drive. To accomplish this the same work

by pick and shovel would have taken a gang of 20 men about two months. for certain

classes of road work the grader is par excellence . Mr Metcalf ‘s staff consisted of 3

men 4 horses."
