TO Australia,
(1rs. Anne McCaruey -des-
cribes their trip from Can-
berra to Bendigo.)
We flew to Melbourne and
were picked • up at the airport
by a Commonwealth car and
a wolfed -reed driver who took
us and our luggage to the
Oommenwealth, Cehtre, a 14 -
storey building in the heart
of .Melbourne, a city of 23/2
million people which is the
third oldest city in Australia.
At the Commonwealth Cen-
ter where all the• government
department head offices for
Victoria are housed we were
interviewed by the Personnel
Officer in the Health Depart-
ment who told us as much as
he knew about Bendigo.
About 2:00 p.m. we left by
train ,for Bendigo (a 2 hour
trip because it makes a stop
at every. little place along the
way). Actually Bendigo •is
only 90 miles from Melbourne
by car so it isn't very far from
- big city convenience at all.
The train ride was really
most enjoyable as the. day
Was clear and. sunny. The
countryside in this area is
very beautiful, quite green
and rolling in places with flat
sheep grazing lands in bet-
ween. There is a range of low
mountains along the way
which is commonly called The
Divide and these were quite
impressive.
There - were sheep: and
lambs everywhere, hundreds
and hundreds of them and,
quite 'a few dairy cattle and
some horses, as this is one of
Australia's prime agricultural
areas.
T was quite surprised at -the
similarity between the coun-
-try except that here there
were mord rocks and hills
and -fewer streams or bine-
, bongs as they call them:
• Bendigo itself is an old gold
mining town which has :be-
come a small City"with a pop-
ulation of. around 43,000. It
• was at one time world famous
during --the Australian '.gold
rush a little over one hundred
years age. The city to -day still
shows many signs, of a bygone
era of wealth and Victorian,
elegance,. Most of the public
buijfl ngs and monuments are
of stone, heavily carved and.
embellished with all sorts of
laces. trims.
The hotel at Which we stay-
ed forthree days upon arrival
in Bendigo we�,s a typical ex-
ample of a Vic`toriarn interior.
It was quite *nail, belonging
to a family which probably
inherited it from generation
to generation. ,The rooms
were dark with heavy, old-
fashioned furniture and pot
after pot of artificial flowers.
The diningroom was cosy and
the meals home -cooked, but
the bedrooms had no source
of heat whatsoever and were
so cold that you could see
your breath in the morning.
Fortunately the flat (apart-
ment) we now occupy is mod-
ern, cheerful and comfortable.
Rents and prices are generally
cheaper than thou in Canada
but -then wages and salaries
are much lower too. As yet we
have had •little time to look
around the area very much
but we will getaround to it
when we 'get settled in. So
far the people have been most,
friendly and helpful so that
T think life •wilI be pleasant
here.
CROP REPORT
Weather conditions have been
favorable for .the harvesting of
white beans. On the average,
bean • yield appear lower this
year. The range reported is
from 10 to 30 bushels per'acre
with many field, yielding from
18.to 20 bushels per acre. ,.
The hot dry days along with
frost free nights ere needed
for the further maturation of
corn and some white bean
craps. Little frost damage has
occurred except. to some corn
n North Huron and a few low
ying acreages elsewhere.
A large percentage• of the
winter wheat crop has been
lanted with some fields start
ng to green upT
Plowing has become very dif-
icult as a result of the- dry
weather.
•A large acreage of good qual-
ty aftermath hay has been ster-
ol during the dry weather. Pas -
tires are beginning to decline
n production.
