“Clarke's Creek (alias "The Devil's Hole") is close handy, and in travelling through, one passes the Chinese quarters and the Joss House, where the childlike and bland Celestial prays on all occasions when he is not engaged in cultivating cabbage or courting the smiles of Dame Fortune at the fascinating fan-tan table."
Windsor and Richmond Gazette, 18 September 1897, p.6.
"Some miscreants broke into the Chinese joss-house at Windeyer one night recently, and played havoc with the sacred belongings of the establishment. The beard was pulled out of the joss, and other similar deeds of sacrilege were revealed when the Chinese inhabitants next went to worship."
Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative, 12 September 1901, p.9.
