LEFT FOR BRISBANE
(Rec. 10.15 p.m.) Sydney, October 12. A message from Wyndham states that Sir Charles Kingsford Smith left .at 8.7 a.m. (local time) and expects to reach Brisbane on Saturday, Sydney on Sunday and Melbourne on the following Monday. The nervous exhaustion from which he suffered in the early stages of the trip has completely disappeared. The airman, in a speech declared that Wyndham was the best point for landing from an overseas flight, as it ,was 100 miles closer, and had 300 miles less water to cross than the Darwin route. He considered that his .record should be shattered in the Cen.tenary Air Race.
