They wish, when touring, to leave the beaten track and explore Australia’s by-ways, notably the tropical coast of Queensland. The liner suite for the Duke and Duchess, includes three double staterooms, one for the Duke, the Duchess and the children, with a private sit-ting-room and dining-room. The ship will leave England in the middle of October, but some of the staff will travel by an earlier ship and rejoin the Duke and Duchess at Adelaide, with the latest information in connection with their programme.
