Exploring Australia
: Of course, there’s some pretty wild country still left in Australia. Don’t make any mistake about it. But the details of it are filled in on the map, that’s the point. You recall how easy it w is-to get lost while flying over Australia. Remember the adventures of Kingsford-Smith and those other famous Australian aviators? B: Oh, yes. Aviation has doubtless added much to the geography of the country, too. It has to practically every country. It may even have been responsible for re-casting the map of Australia in places so far as details are concerned, but aviators haven’t found any new features, rivers, mountains, etc. A: Oh, I didn’t mean to imply that. You see it was as far back as 1871 that Darwin was. linked with southern Australia by an overland telegraph, so it couldn’t have been terra incognita along that route, could it?-(" Lifting the Veil: Australia," prepared by L. R. Palmer, 2YA, June 2.)
