  • Story: IS AUSTRALIA AWAKE? TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.

    <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <div> The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954)Saturday 18 September 1937 </div> <p><span>&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;">IS AUSTRALIA AWAKE? &nbsp;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"> TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span> Sir,-In reference to the above article pub</span><span>lished in your paper, and credited to T. C.</span><span> BoughLey, I write this letter. I say defi</span><span>nitely, "No," Australia is not awake. How</span><span> many of our people know of the beautiful trips</span><span> that can be made cheaply and quickly? I say</span><span> very few. Owing to lack of advertising on</span><span> the part of our railways revenue is lost. The</span><span> railways should organise and advertise in a</span><span> more attractive and efficient manner. Take,</span><span> for instance, Batemans, Bay. To reach this</span><span> place from Sydney we have one of the cheap</span><span>est 200-mile trips in the world. Return fares</span><span> for the 400-mile journey work out at less</span><span> than one penny farthing per mile. Zane Grey</span><span> on his departure from this town said: "You</span> <span>have the greatest place in the world, but you </span><span>won't tell anyone about it, not even your own </span><span>people." Therefore I say, Wake up, Aus</span><span>tralia, the time is ripe for big publicity, and</span><span> now is the time to attract oversea visitors,</span><span> for our 150th anniversary celebrations are</span><span> close at hand. Let these visitors leave our</span><span> shores with everlasting impressions that this&nbsp; </span><span>tne finest continent that they will ever </span><span>visit.</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"> I am, etc., &nbsp;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"> VICTOR E. UTICK, Hon. Secretary,</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span> Bateman's Bay Game-Fishing Club, &nbsp;</span><span> Bateman's ,Bay: Sept: 15.</span></span></p>
