Noumea-Tahiti Airmail

WE are advised by the Vice-Consul for France in Australia that, as a re sult of representations made, airmail facilities between New Caledonia and French Oceania have been approved by the Australian Postmaster-General as from March 1.

This means that not only will airmail letters from French Oceania continue to be delivered in Australia, but that air mail letters for French Oceania may now be posted in Australia. The latter will go by air to New Caledonia and from there will be picked up by the TRAP AS Service and carried on to Tahiti at least twice each month.

The airmail fees agreed to in Australia on letters addressed to French Oceania are Airletters 7d. each; post-cards sd. each; other articles, 9d. per I oz.
