The 'Miles and Milestones' article by J. M. E. discusses the use of milestones as reference points in terms of travelling and roads. Roman milestones, and milestones in New South Wales are discussed, as are historic monuments commemorating important individuals, places, or events. The 'Turnpikes in Early New South Wales' article by P. F. O. informs the reader of the growth and development of the turnpike system in Britain and New South Wales. It mentions the people of Penrith's increasing public opposition to turnpikes, and the reasons for and against them.
