Railways Promote Holiday Savings and Tourism
The article reviews the Save for your holidays scheme begun by Railways Commissioners and State Savings Bank, noting 5365 accounts open by June 30 and four percent interest. It highlights Grampians tourism, rail access to Stawell and Hall's Gap, reduced rail rates for car transport, and a Government Tourist Bureau booklet listing 78 tours for 1928–29 including Mt Buffalo, Gippsland, and Wilson's Promontory. It also warns about swindler schemes exposed in Life magazine and describes luggage collection services ahead of the Euchartic Congress in Sydney and Melbourne Show for travelers.
