Sir Harry Luke (British High Com missioner for the Western Pacific) was the first visitor to the newly-com pleted Col-d’Amieu-Canala route, which crosses New Caledonia from La Foa. He was much impressed by the beauty and the picturesque region of the Chaine Centrale, through which the road passes.

Mr. Charles Blake, of Wau, who re cently made New Guinea history by “overlanding” a mob of 350 cattle from Madang to the Morobe valley, has re turned to Madang and is organising another, and similar droving expedition.
