IS TRAVELLERS
DELIGHT
Australia is an island contin-
ent, about the size of the United
States, pulsing with new develop-
ments, new experiences and new
ideas. Australia is a country on
the move. Australia is a land of
contrasts. . . from huge ocean
confines to boundless plains to
towering mountain peaks. . . of
old and new, simplicity and
sophistication.. . and of colour.
Six adjoining units... plus the
Australian Capital Territory. . .
spread from sea to sea, with a
seventh an island state all to it-
self. The magnificent seven:
Queensland, New South Wales,
Victoria, South Australia, West-
ern Australia, Northern , Terri-
tory, and the island of Tasmania.
About three million square miles
of fascination.
Australia is a new nation, but a
nation with resources and re-
sourcefulness enough to have
come of age and into its own in
less than two hundred years of
civilization. Peopled not only by
descendants of the original
British pioneers, but also by na-
tionals of a dozen European
countries, Australia is going
places... fast... moving rapidly
towards the 21st century, confi-
dent of an exciting future.
This vast area is a vacation -
land untarnished, an uncrowded
land where you won't find
souvenir shops around every
corner. Or a myriad of musty
museums. Look instead for warm
white beaches by the hundreds,
glittering cities, countless coral
islands, frontier towns, a rugged
robust people ready to extend a
hearty and friendly welcome.
Look most of all for life. For a
spirit bursting with the ,promise
of tomorrow... and today.
Sydney the Gateway
Your first stop in Australia is
likely to .be Sydney, the South
Pacific's largest and liveliest
metropolis. Sydney Harbour,
with its bold headlands, sheltered
bays and bush -clad islands, is one
of the most beautiful in the world.
Sydney is Australia's oldest and
largest city, population two and a
half million, capital of the State
of New South Wales. .
Sydney is an• outdoor city, and,,
°:its bdchhsside suburbs spread, for
50 miles along the PacafiC coast.
To see the city best take a ferry
s from • Circular Quay to Manly
only a 35-minutetrip across the
busiest harbour in the Southern
Hemisphere. Watch the colorful
activity on the harbour, alive
with ships flying the flags of all .
nations and hundreds of sailboats
scudding before fresh breezes
blowing in from the blue Pacific. I
"Waltzing Matilda" I
Take the one -day • Air Tour
across the rugged ranges west of
BETROTT.IN.
With Herman
Sydney to the sheep country of
"Waltzing Matilda". "You spend
the day meeting the friendly
people of the Outback, watching
the shearing and mustering of
sheep, visiting a wild life sanctu-
ary and pioneer. museum, bar-
becuing in a typically Australian
bushland setting, inspecting rock
carvings at an ancient aboriginal
initiation and ceremonial site,
learning from an aborigine the
art of throwing the boomerang.
And you can be back in Sydney
with plenty of time.for a night on
the town.
Som ,thing Exciting
There's something strant
exciting about the stark and
desolate beauty of central
Australia. The air is crystal
clear, the light brilliantly intense.
Wild life abounds. Kangaroos
leap across the path of your tour-
ing bus or automobile, long-
legged emus sprint alongside it.
Gorgeously plumed parrots flash
from one tree to the next.
Near the centre of this craggily
beautiful region is an oasis full of
life. . . Alice Springs, affec-
tionately called The Alice. This is
a frontier town with a flavour all
its own. Aboriginal cowboys
stroll the streets. Radio School of
the Air Teachers beam lessons to,
pupils hundreds of miles away.
Flying Doctor physicians wing
their way to patients' bedsides.
South-west of The Alice, towers
a mammoth mystery... . Ayres
Rock. Its many caves are gal-
leries' for strange aboriginal rock
paintings. The Rock can be
climbed from its western flank.
At sunset the Rock turns on a
kaleidoscope colour show. From
chocolate it changes to pink to
orange to brilliant crimson until
it seems the whole great mass of
it must split open and run molten
across the desert.,
Great, Barrier Reef
Fringing 1,250 miles of Queens -
land's sunny tropical shores is a
natural wonder of the world: the
Great Barrier Reef. The outer
string of reefs, from 10 to 150
iniles off the coast, shelter in a
serenely 'beautiful waterway
some 600 cays and "continental"
islands. Here the swimming,
snorkeling, fishing, sailing and
marine life viewing are un-
matched. •
Epeciallya tthev mlarine life
viewing. Nowhere elsd on land or
on sea, will you find such ex-/
quisitively coloured creatures in
such abundance. You'll see fish in
a fascinating variety of shape,
colour, size and habit amid gor-
geous coral growths.
Tasmania
Across Bass Strait south of
Melbourne is the heart -shaped is -
and state of Tasmania: This is a
and of great scenic- diversity.
You'll find towns with an Old
World charm': rolling pasture -
