Westernport ‘cut up by land sharks’
IN criticising the Westernport Development and Decentralisation League, a Melbourne journal says:
“As regards Westernport, the land sharks have cut up and sold to the credulous, ‘desirable residential and factory sites’ by the thousands, so they at least have ceased to have any interest in the place …. There has never been any sincerity behind any of these decentralisation proposals.”
All we can say is that there ought to be, for Westernport is one of the most neglected of all the natural ports in the world.
SPEAKING of the dangerous air currents in certain parts of Australia, Major T. H. Shaw, the aviator, regards the country at Dromana as the most tricky for air currents, especially near Arthur’s Seat.
