New Caledonia
A LARGE party of Australian students arrived in Noumea by air on December 15 to spend some weeks in New Caledonia under an exchange plan. They were in charge of a teacher, Mr. Hudson, and stayed with French families.
An extensive programme was arrahged for their entertainment and everything was done to see that they carried away happy memories of their visit. The two students who likely enjoyed their visit most were the two boys who went, at the in vitation of a native school teacher, to Mare, one of the Loyalty Islands about 50 miles off the coast near Noumea. These people are of Poly nesian stock and their hospitality is famous. Mr. Hudson accompanied these two lads.
The party was expected to return to Sydney by air on January 6. A week later a party of 20 New Caledonian students will make a similar visit to Sydney.
