p. 16 · Read in the full issue
THE directors of Albertsen Cruise - Tours, of Los Angeles, USA, have written to the Australian Information Bureau, New York: “We have been in business for 44 years specialising in hunting safaris and shikars.” (A shikar is an Indian safari).
“We have sent several hunting trips and jungle excursions to South America. Now we are in terested in extending our tours to Papua and New Guinea.”
They sought details of wild life,
food supplies and expedition facili ties in New Guinea.
They were informed that “photo graphers might get some wonderful shots,” but big-game hunters would have little excitement, unless they cared to stalk crocodiles.
Papua-New Guinea has a few. birds, a few wallabies and a lot of crocodiles. Its wild life is confined to exasperated officials; and they, are protected by law against over sea sportsmen—only newspaper men are allowed to have a shot at them,.
