Some SOC, 900, 900 worth of goods

A Foreign Ministry spokesman
said last night he knew nothing
Of reports that Premier Alcide de

The reports were said to have
originated in Vienna and were the

AustruIiun Mail Route
Is 1,164 Miles Long
BY the ksseeiotsd Press

SYDNEY.-Around 1,164 miles
long is the postman's Meekathar-
ra-Marble Bar circuit in the CEN
ter of Western Australia. Lengths
OF some of the other 800 road
mail routes in Western Australia's s
north are: Carnaryon-Yardie
Greek, 564 miles; Leonora-Law-
lers- Wilma, 1862 miles.
Mail contractors in the area
cover 2,276.130 miles a year-al-
most all rough bush tracks In
some of the worlds most sparsely
populated country.
Only four years ago the postal
authorities dispensed with pack
horses in the North Kimberleys
area. In the monsoonal season
these horses often had to fight
through floods, plod through deep
mud, swim swollen rivers. Mall
men might go SO miles to deliver
half a dozen letters. But air
services have now taken such
hazards out of mail deliveries in
many parts of Australia's north.
