A Round Trip for Tourists
Submitted by Alan Aldrich
The Daily Telegraph on Saturday said that:
"The Minister for Works
will shortly pay a visit to Windsor and the Hawkesbury.
He will be accompanied by the Railway Commissioners, and will proceed to Brooklyn by rail, and will then go as far up the
river as possible, in order to ascertain how much of the channel will require
to be cleared, so as to enable a passenger steamer to reach Windsor.
If it is found practicable to
do this at a reasonable cost, it is proposed to use this route as a round
trip for tourists. They would in that
case go from Sydney to Brooklyn by rail, from Brooklyn to Windsor by steamer, and from Windsor to Sydney
Mr. Bruce Smith has received a
report indicating that surveys of the river are now being made."
We understand that as soon as
the flood water recedes, Mr. Bruce Smith will travel round to Windsor by the `General Gordon', and
remain here to open the local waterworks, after which he will attend the
proposed banquet, and return to Sydney
