Little Tahiti In Sydney

To its long list of exotic restaurants and coffee houses, Sydney has now added a Little Tahiti. It is operated in McDowell’s Arcade, be tween Pitt and George Sts., by ex-cruising yachtsman John Hunter. One wall is composed of a huge mural (half of which can be seen in the picture above), and another of an enlarged colour photo of Tahitian dancers. Good use has been made of tapa cloth and other Islands bits and pieces and a couple of part-Polynesian girls are there to hand out the espresso coffee and toasted sandwiches. So far as we could see, the food was typically Australian—but if you like to have it with Islands atmosphere, this is for you. Mr. Hunter was one of the crewmen on “Nirvana ” a few years back; and last year he came back through the Pacific on “Goodewind”.
