Francis Rose Wilson 922-3352 j 4 1 1 Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Jor gensen have returned from a months vacation in Australia, only to find their work load waiting for them. Jorgensen is Justice of the Peace and also runs a trucking business, while Mrs. Jorgensen does the book work for both. While Jorgensen was away Chester Wilson took care of the duties of Justice of the Peace. The Jorgensens first went to Melbourne where they visited his brother A.G. Jorgensen. They toured the city visiting the older section. In Port Arthur they visited the first penal colony built in 1836, of sandstone. Much of the original building was still standing although a fire had swept through and destroyed parts of it. They found Canberra the capitol of Aus tralia to be a very beautiful city with many parks and beautiful buildings. In Sydney they visited the famous Opera House over looking the Bay. The roof is all of Spanish tile and is most spectacular, according to Mrs. Jorgensen. Australia is famous for its wild life and the Jorgensens viewed the many different sizes of kangaroo, the koala and many bright colored birds at a sanctuary. They found the Cockatoo to be a very pretty but noisy bird. They went to Phillips Island off the coast, where they watched the penguins come in at night to their burrows on the beach. This type of Penguin is the smallest of 18 species. Mr. Jorgensen, being a trucker was fascinated that the trucks in Australia have heavy bars welded on the front to protect them from damage if they should hit one of the larger kangaroo, that are often on the roads of Austra lia. On the trip to Australia they stopped over in Honolulu and American Samoa. They lost a day going, when they crossed the International date line but on the return trip they gained it back. Leaving Sydney they flew non-stop to Los Angeles in 15 hours and on to Portland in two hours more. They left Australia at 5 p.m. Saturday Obie Bradshow Service Mancgsr At Mel Winter Volkswagen is the winner III Til l9Veii Intlivimi i lib imHiwyvil Obie was outstanding in the Riviera Motors Distributors area.
