Ship Available For New Guinea Cattle
WHEN Mr. Michael J.
Leahy, of Zenag, New Guinea, was in New South Wales in June, he sought sea-transport for about 400 cattle which he then could buy advantageously in the Monaro District of NSW, and which he thought would do well on his grazing properties. However, none of the shipowners approached would undertake the job —• they said Australian costs made such cargo unprofitable.
A young shipowner who runs freight between Aus tralia and New Zealand, with a ship capable of carrying 800 tons—or from 300 to 400 cattle—now has announced that he is prepared to trans port cattle from any East Australian port to New Guinea; and he has formally advised the P-NG Admini stration to that effect. He is Mr. Peter Dent, Box 2089, General Post Office, Sydney.
