p. 10 · Read in the full issue

THE airmail service from Sydney to New Guinea, to be operated by Messrs. W. R. Carpenter & Co., Ltd., should begin about the end of March.

The route is: Sydney, Brisbane, Rock hampton, Townsville, Cairns, Cooktown, Port Moresby, Salamaua, and Rabaul.

One trip will be made weekly in each direction.

The big De Havilland machines to be used in the service have arrived in Aus tralia, and it is probable that one will make a survey flight in February, or early in March. Messrs. Carpenters are ready to commence the service at any time —they are awaiting the pro vision of aerodromes and of necessary radio and meteorological equipment by the Commonwealth Government.
