Air Mail To Goldfields
p. 24 · Read in the full issue
THE Australian Postal Department advises that arrangements have been made to utilise the aerial service from Port Moresby to Wau and Salamaua for correspondence posted within the Commonwealth addressed to these places and goldfields in New Guinea.
The aeroplane leaves Port Moresby shortly after the arrival of the steamers “Macdhui” and “Montoro,” and air mail correspondence will be accelerated from seven to fourteen days according to the address.
The aerial service commenced with the “Macdhui,” which left Brisbane on February 4.
The air mail fee is twopence per ounce, in addition to ordinary postage, and if the Aus tralian air service is also utilised, an additional air fee of threepence per half ounce is necessary.
All classes of postal articles except parcels will be accepted, and they should bear a “Par Avion” blue label or be endorsed “By Air Mail.”
