THE PRINCE IN AUSTRALIA.

PROGRAMME OP THE TOUR. A PEEP AT BACKBLOCKS LIFE. Sydney, April 2S. The most interesting part of the tour of the Prince of Wale? in Australia Will probably prove to be the ten days' overland trip from Adelaide to Brisbane.* A stall of officials is hard at work completing the arrangements for the journey through this difficult country. It is not an easy task. For the greater part of the time the Royal party will be . far awnv from the railways, going from one isolated station to another, and it is no lignt matter to get over this great expanse of country and complete all the necessary preparations.

Leaving Adelaide on July 10, the Royal party will travel along the Murray to Echuca, staying at one station en route. They will go to the Wanganella station, in New South Wales, between DenjUquin and Jerilderie. Here the Prince for two days will be the guest of a well-known and wealthy pastoralist, Mr. Leigh Falkiner. Station life in midwinter is very enjoyable, and every effort is being made to make the Prince's visit something to remember. Ihe Royal party will then go slowlv across the back of New South Wales, to join the Queensland railway at Wallangarra, on the New South Wales border, hi the course of this journey the Prince will be the guest of Brigadier-Ocnenil Mackay, at Wallendoon station, near Nviigan. All sorts of typically Australian sights and experiences will greet the Prince at these stations. There will be i hunting of wallabies and other small game; there is to be a great kangaroo drive; there will bp an exhibition of yarding aiid breaking station brumbies; there will be more than one emu hunt. The Prince, of course, will be introduced to station life. He will be shown stock-rid-ing, mustering, shearing, and all the various activities of Australian sheep stations. I
