Geelong’s+first+dreadful+calamity.


 * __First dreadful calamity__** Geelong’s first dreadful calamity. On Wednesday evening September 14 was the first major destruction by fire that the people of Geelong were hoping not to see for a long time. At about nine o’clock in the evening the interior of the building at the rear of Geelong’s only printing office was to be on fire. The smoke was so dense and dark that it could be seen from about 4km away. The owner of the office Mr. Williams was absolutely devastated. Everything in the room was damaged. Geelong was effected by this fire tremendously.
