Silent Welcome For Southern Cross Arrival From Melbourne
Only a few people greeted the Southern Cross on its arrival from Melbourne as timing caused the welcome to be late. The Agriculture Minister Millinguin failed to meet the aviators, leaving the Civilian Aviation Department's Mr Searle as the sole official host while the crew handled their own luggage. The aviators anticipate leaving for Adelaide soon and Squadron Leader Kingsford Smith may borrow a plane to visit friends in Carnarvon.
