ACCOMMODATION. A resident of Port Moresby has kindly given us the ad dresses of two holiday flat possibilities which may be of interest to Island visitors to Australia.

One flat is in Melbourne and the other at Burleigh Heads, Queensland. The Mel bourne flat is not self-contained but it is quite private, and the owners are “very nice folk.” It has three bedrooms and its own kitchen but it is necessary to share the bathroom. Rental, inclusive of gas, electricity and wood is £5/5/-. This is situated in a very quiet spot opposite public gardens and is only three minutes walk from Queen’s Parade and shops. It is only a 3d. fare from the city by bus and tram.

The Burleigh Heads flats are right on the beach (Burleigh Heads is 65 miles south of Brisbane, and a well-known sea side resort). They are modern self-con tained two-bedroom units, with hot water, septic tank and electric stove. Rent varies according to season of the year.

The addresses of the owners of both Burleigh Heads and Melbourne flats will be supplied on application.
