Travellers to New Guinea

Passengers for New Guinea from Sydney in August by Qantas aircraft included, top to bottom: (1) Mr. J. P. Fitzgerald, joining the staff of Commonwealth New Guinea Timbers ltd., seen off by Mrs. Fitzgerald, who will follow later. (2) Mr. S. Heath (right) took up an appointment as workshop foreman for Port Moresby Freezer Ltd., and his son, Allan Heath, following the passing of a special amendment to the law at Canberra to accommodate his and possible future similar cases, transferred his apprenticeship from a Sydney workshop to the P.M. Freezer workshop. He thus becomes the first European apprentice in Papua-N. Guinea. (3) Mr. D. W. Sharp, of the Technical Education Department, Rabaul, and Mrs. Sharp, returning home after six months leave in the south.
