Three young children, aged respectively five, four, and three years, children of a selector named Kendal', were lost in the bush near Wagga and perished. They wandered after an opposum on Saturday night, which turned bitterly cold and stormy with heavy rain continuing ceaselessly since the children were lost. The whole countryside turned out in search, A woman was attracted by the crows which were hovering over a dead lamb and found the children close by lying face downwards on a stony ridge. They were thinly clad and had no bats or boots. They evidently died on the first or the second night out.
