Coconut radio signals picked up by PIM in June told of the progress up the east coast of Australia from Syd ney of a large yacht, well-known in Australian yachting circles and with some South Pacific cruising on its log.
The yacht has an all-girl crew and is headed either for Weipa, the baux ite development on Australia’s north coast, or Keita, Bougainville—an area, like Weipa, populated by thousands of male workers.
The yacht has two poker machines aboard, and machines-plus-girls are hpped by the promoters to be a win ning combination. The sea-going casino would, of course, ply its trade while moored outside territorial limits.
