Polynesian Restaurant

For Sydney
London’s got one and the United States has some—now Sydney is to follow suit with a Polynesian Restaurant. Sydney’s version has a fair chance of be ing more authentic than the others because Mine Host will be John Hunter, Pacific cruising yachtsman ex “Nirvana” and more recently of “Goodewind” (both owned by Australian-bom London dental surgeon K. W.
Laws).
“ Goodewind” reached Sydney from the UK via Panama and Pacific ports in June, and since then Mr. Hunter, who has been interested in the restaurant busi ness as well as yachts for some time, has been looking around for suitable premises.
He’s found them at King’s Cross but does not expect to be in business there until about February, 1961—and when he is, we’ll be telling you more about it. Sounds like the sort of place that would make the same kind of rendezvous for cruising yachtsmen as Usher’s New Guinea Bar used to be for Terri torians.
“Goodewind” meantime is anchored in Pittwater, Sydney, and will be an entrant in the Montague Island Yacht Race and the Christmas-New Year Sydney-Hobart classic.
