BUSH
HOSPITALITY
Users of the road
between Broken Hill and Wilcannia are loud in their praise of Mr.
Frank Olerhead, caretaker of Dolo Tank, who, with true bush
hospitality; makes a cup of tea for every traveller who calls at the
tank, and he is so well known and his tea is so appreciated that few
travellers pass the tank without stopping. Olerhead provided all
members of the Broken Hill Pipe Band concert party numbering 15,
called at Dola Tank Mr. Williams provided all members of the party
with tea. The members of this party were only allowed to show their
appreciation by the Silver City quartette singing four numbers.
