Who (nearly) went to Kooyong?

Lucky for David Rosback that he was with another Rotarian in the train last Tuesday:  At Glenferrie Station, David rose to leave the train and go to the Kooyong Tennis Club for Rotary lunch, when his anonymous friend reminded him that there was no lunch at Kooyong, but was he, perhaps, on his way to Flagstaff Station to go on the ‘vocational visit’ to the Melbourne Mint?

Did Lawrence Reddaway really build Flagstaff Station?

As members arrived at the Melbourne Mint (which is directly opposite Flagstaff Station), Lawrence Reddaway was overheard saying that he had built Flagstaff Station.  Actually, The Shadow understands, Lawrence did indeed work on the tunnelling contract for the station – but not on the booking halls etc.
