To New Guinea

A CRUISE to New Guinea, in the liner “Katoomba”, is being arranged by the Methodist Missionary Society, which organised similar cruises to Polynesia in 1935 and 1937.

It is proposed that the “Katoomba” will leave Melbourne at the end of April and, after visiting East Australian ports, will arrive in Samarai on May 6, and Ra baul on May 8. An endeavour will be made to visit Salamaua, and take all the visitors on a quick aerial tour of the goldfields.

The “Katoomba” returns to Melbourne on May 22.
