Tlio captain was associated with the Permanent -Defence forces in New South Wales, but is now on the. unattached list. He came across to the Dominion partly on pleasure, and partly on business in the interests of a large land agency company in Queensland. He told a reporter that- a large number of New Zealanders -had settled in Queensland recently. This he attributed to the high prices ruling for land "in New Zealand and the comparatively low prices in Queensland. “Of course,” he added, “we don’t get the rainfall you have; still, it is 32in, and the land is just as good.” He intends inquiring into the land question in New Zealand, and contemplates travelling from one end of the Dominion to the other.
