Salients Kookaburra

—From Our Australian Correspondent

After a trip on the Monowai, which gained for our N.Z.U. Athletic Team a reputation for sea sickness and a certain notoriety, due to their willingness to entertain their fellow passengers with well known Varsity songs, our team arrived in Sydney. On arrival the team at once started to train for their events. They were all greatly impressed by the training facilities available. Sydney University, itself, has its own oval. Although training hard, the team has been able to do some sight-seeing. Sydney University itself has impressed all team members. One point of interest was the fact that each faculty has its own building and also that the Student's Building is half the size of V.U.C.

By the time this is published, the team will have competed in some more events.

The team was unfortunate in being beaten by a narrow margin in their first meeting. This however, was due in no small measure, to the bad conditions. Our V.U.C. representative, Clem Hawke came third in his event.

By the time our next edition goes to press, we will be able to give our readers more news from Australia.
