Another Date For Tonga's Dateline
Tonga’s new Government owned tourist hotel, The Date line, is now to be opened on
September 15, according to a
June report from Nukualofa.
THE main ground floor, plus the first floor, will be ready for guests on that date, and the ac commodation on the second floor will be ready for the opening in September.
The construction and equipping of this hotel has had a long history of delays, and nothing is firm.
Meanwhile Oscar Kami recently arrived in Sydney for three months training at the Carlton-Rex Hotel as a head waiter.
He will take on that job for The Dateline when he returns to Nukua lofa by September. Oscar has worked as steward in various Tongan estab lishments and on two Tongan Gov ernment vessels. The photograph was taken in Sydney, where his mourning dress (for the Queen) created interest among Australians.
