he Bus Route
TEW Guinea followed Fiji into the I tourist-bus field recently when Crowley Airways, of Lae, intro iced a 10-seater Volkswagen speci [y designed for tropical use.
At present the bus runs two arist services—one for a week-end p to Wau and return; and the tier for a special tour for ships’ ssengers visiting Lae. On the ips’ tour, one load of tourists is wn to Wau and later returns by ad; while one load goes up by air,
and returns by bus.
Only European drivers will be em ployed.
This service should be a great boon to people other than ships’ passengers—particularly as BGD are now running a new hotel at Bulolo.
Previously, the only way for the visitor to the district to see the famous Wau-Lae road, was to beg a lift in a jeep or a truck. t Rarotonga airport registered 25.70 inches of rainfall during December, 7.45 inches falling on Christmas Day.
Rain fell on 25 days with the maxi mum fall on December 25.
