Dutch Family Returns to Australia After Back and Forth
The Moonen family of five from Holland arrived in Sydney aboard the Tahitian liner. They spent £2000 saved during years in Australia and Holland, hoping for better opportunities in Melbourne. They previously lived in Ringwood and faced sparse carpentry work in 1960. The family seeks rail fare help from Sydney authorities to reach Melbourne. Also noted is a commercial jet record attempt by Louis Fodor and Sam Miller who aim to travel around the world in 47 hours 16 minutes, pending smoother connections.
