New Seadrome Opened Near Brisbane
THE new flying-boat base which was opened at Redland Bay, near Brisbane, in early June, allows stops to be made there on the Qantas Sydney-Noumea-Suva and Sydney-New Hebrides services.
Formerly these services flew from Sydney direct to Noumea.
Flying-boats on the New Guinea service which formerly used Ham ilton Reach, Brisbane River, will also use Redland Bay.
Landing facilities were limited at Hamilton Reach. Several accidents and near-accidents involving air craft and ships have occurred there in recent years.
