Notice of Driving Offence: from The Geraldton Guardian, Thursday, March 9, 1911. "Local News."
Driving Without Lights.- For having driven along Marine Terrace on the night of February 25th, without having a light on his vehicle, Stephen Augustus Fripp was fined 2s 6d at the Police Court yesterday. He pleaded guilty under extenuating circumstances, stating that the wind had put his light out, a fact that unfortunately for defendant, the policeman discovered before he did.

News Item: from Chapman Valley Pioneers
As the years progressed, Yuna pioneers did likewise, and the railway line from Geraldton to Naraling gradually extended to Yuna in 1913. This was a wonderful advancement for Yuna, there were two trains, mixed freight and passenger, operating between Geraidton and Yuna from 2 p.m. each Thursday, until after midnight on Fnday.
However the Mail service was continued twice weekly by road, (Horse and Cart) until after the 1924 days. This mail service was very important for Yuna pioneers. In addition to mail, the mail man carried bread, general stores replacement parts for machines and in particular, urgent medicine parcels for sick people. After a very early start, he reached Yuna in one day, with one or two changes of horses, returning early next day. I cannot recall all these early mail men to Yuna, but I am sure, that we will remember our two old mailmen Jack Vincent, and Steve Fripp.
