7i eUi«t to c September 8 we were in Wellington, New Zealand, for a one day port visit. Here, as in Australia, the language was English and the people could not have been nicer to us. The greater Wellington area has a popu- lation of 255,700. It is in the geographical center of New Zealand proper and has one of the finest harbors in the world. Souveniers featured the Maoris, a Poly- nesian people of Caucasian origin who first populated the country. Today they are an integrated part of the country but they are very proud of their past and heir to a rich heritage. The Lord Mayor of Wellington held a party for all hands and several organizations with- in the city held smaller parties. It is difficult to remember Wellington with- out also remembering the high winds and rough water thatmade for such an interesting boat ride from the ship to the fleet landing. . ;.A ..W .l..i - ' f - r ' -, ' 51 I

We arrived in Fremantle - Perth, Australia on 31 August for a two day visit to this, the capital of Western Australia. It was a lot like coming home as, for the first time since leaving the States, we were among an English speaking people who were really glad to see us. Many references were made to the role played in the defense of the South Pacific by the United States during the dark days of World War II. Many parties were held and a great many of the people insisted on taking us to their homes. Few were the men who didn ' t go ashore here, and even fewer were those who came back less than satisfied with having had o very pleasant stay. Many Australians came aboard ship to visit and this afforded us an opportunity to repay some of the hospitality that they had extended to us. A lot of us bought souvenirs but most important, we returned with fond memories of a wonder- ful people, a pleasant time and a feeling that if we ever met an Australian visiting the States, we wouldn ' t be able to treat him nice enough. Keep your eye on the little guy
