About 1,700 young people from Australia, Papua-New Guinea, Tonga, Fiji, New Hebrides, BSIP and Gilbert and Ellice Islands attended a Seventh Day Adventist Youth Congress in Melbourne at the end of December. They created considerable interest both at the Congress and in the city. They appeared on television and in radio and were the subject of many newspaper stories. All except a few were able to express themselves in good English. The photograph shows a group from North Queensland (on the left) and various Pacific islands.
