The whole article:
“Writing in The Advertiser, Mr. F. W. Flavel of Lock, Eyre Peninsula, states: ‘I saw objects in the sky between 7 and 8 o’clock the same day (5 February 1947) as you received a report from Port Augusta. I was walking in a north-westerly direction to the house after feeding the pigs. There were five of the strange objects and they seemed to be coming up out of the sea, like a shadow with smoky greyish color around them. ‘They were oblong with narrow points. I saw them quite plainly. They seemed to be floating in the air from north-west to south-east and caused a shadow.’ ”

This appears to be an unidentified submerged object (USO)/UFO incident.

Lock is located 78 kilometres (48 miles) south west of the town of Kimba, according to Google Earth.
