Présentation de l'éditeur
Australia appeared originally in the columns of the Madras Mail, and it is at the suggestion of some of the subscribers to that journal that they are now reproduced in the present form. In view of the more frequent communication between India and Australia which will be brought about by the fortnightly mail service, to be inaugurated in January next, it is not improbable that many residents in India will be tempted to spend an occasional holiday in the colonies instead of journeying to England, as now, whenever a change of climate is sought for the benefit of health. The voyage from Galle to Melbourne occupies about the same time as that from Bombay to London, via Brindisi; it is free from the heat-discomforts and risks to health incidental to the passage through the Bed Sea; and, lastly, it is not expensive, the return passage between Bombay and Melbourne by P. and O. Steamer being 72. The information given in these pages will, it is hoped, direct attention to the advantages of a closer intercourse, commercial and otherwise, between India and A ustralia. The Bombay Chamber of Commerce, in inviting contributions for the Melbourne International Exhibition in 1880, remark :T he Committee of the Chamber of Commerce are of opinion that this movement is of great importance to I ndia, whose products and manufactures are practically unknown in A ustralia.
