“Euroa
boasted an old town, and near the railway station, a new town comprising
bank, hotel, general store, school and public hall, with most of
the business activity around the hall. Steve reported, amongst
other matters, that Tuesday would suit the robbery, the sole constable
would be at the Licensing Court and the stationmaster deposited
takings at the National Bank after the 3.30 pm goods train. The
street door was left ajar until 4 pm.”
