Sale Joss House

“Writing about the floods at Sale, the Gipps Land Times remarks : "When Dr. M'Donald's boat approached the whereabouts of the Chinamen's encampment in the Sale backwater, they were met by a pillar of the calico joss-house, swimming towards the nearest bank, with the latest edition of Confucius, and half a dozen gods on his back. He succeeded in landing the wooden immortals in safety."
