Melbourne has Gale For Easter
(Received 10 a.m.)
MELBOURNE, April 17.
Although the Easter holiday weather in Melbourne started _well, a change developed on Saturday, bringing winds of gale force, which swept all parts of the State. They caused much damage. A north-west wind, coming over the drought-stricken Northern areas, brought vast clouds of dust, causing showers of red rain. Campers had an unenviable time, many tents being blown down, causing holiday-makers 4
to pack up and return to the cities. Many yachts.and fishing boats were blown ashore. Little rain has fallen as yet, but. heavy falls are expected.
