"To have two drivers caught drink driving over the legal limit in the one day is very disappointing," Sergeant Brad Dickens said.
"We might be a small country town but that doesn't mean you won't get caught.
"To be six times over the limit is not just one or two drinks.
"To get behind the wheel of a car in that state is unacceptable.
"It places the lives of all road users at risk, including kids on bikes and elderly pedestrians."
