LIVING IN

THE recent broadcast

from Sydney by Joan Gillison on living condi- tions in Australia was hardly designed as a guide, I think, for those visiting Australia. There were many false impressions.

To those of you who are off for the duration, my advice differa slightly to those spend. ing four to six months leave.

It is unlikely that any of you will settle in the coun- try, or even in the semi-rural districts outside the Metro- politan area-it is more like- ly that you will hug the benches in the summer with a possible revision of plans a the summer fades.

There are

two kinds of beaches the ocean beach with tumbling, rollicking surf, or the harbour beach with calm deep water nestling next the shore. There are in Sydney and every capital city in Australia, as in every city in the world, stratas of society and classes of residential dis- tricts. It is for you to decide in which you care to live, but you can be sure the cost of living varies amazingly in each.

A RECENT letter from Sydney tells me that rents have gone up. Unfurnished fats that are com- fortable and fairly attractive aro from £2 53. a week, with odd ones here and there for the spry seeker at rather less. These flats are in the South Harbour side of Sydney, a convenient and attractive district in which to live. These suburbs are fifteen.or twenty minutes from the heart of the city by 'bus or tram, less by taxi, which transport is cheap at . a mile. Tram and bus services are continuous and are more, used than anything else.

You can expect to pay £3 3s. or so for a furnished flat of two bedrooms, ilving room, kitchenette and bathroom. This might include running hot water at no extra cost and will have a refrigerator and

gas or electric stove. Bath rooms are always modern and well equipped and most blocks of flats in the better class districts have patent rubbish destroyers-you lift. nd set in the wall and away it goes never to be seen no more- an advantage to the woman doing her own houseltold chores. Five shillings a week will comfortably cover lighting and gos, and you'll save a little from that for frivolities over a period of months. For a mother and two children. I should pay £2.10s, at least for the food blil for a week.

RENTS at ocean beaches vary. For comparison, these beaches are the Brightons of Sydney, cosmo- politan and fully populated during the summer months. They are flats' districts-cottages and houses are scarce being occupied by the permanent residents. Short term tenancy is more expensive than long term, owing to the inrush of country visitors to Sydney for the hola.

The holiday period is six to eight weeks, December and Janu=" ury, when the schools are closed for Christmas vacation.

Those of you who are going for the duration will be advised to take your flat or house in the win- ler at normal rent, and you have It then for subsequent summers at the lower and reasonable cost.

DOMESTIC help is not quite as difficult as it has been made to sound. You can get a cook-general for 30s. a week, but 30a. is quite an outlay when you are keeping two homes going probably, yours there and your husband's here.

Why not do what I would do? Have a daily woman for one or one and half days a week. The Agure of 15 an hour is correct, that but experience taught me "dnilles". will not

afternoon cups of tea, will care of your laundry.. On this day it is usual for them to do either bathroom or kitchenette. An extra half day would take care of the "donkey work" of the flat. This would be 104, n week plus slight extras, and you do the light chores from day to day. This routine would hold no hardship for the average woman.

FOR the duration visitors who are concerned with keeping their Habilities low, I can but advise what I myself would do. I should pack up my household lines, cut- lery, crockery, etc., and take them along with me I should rent on unfurnished fla! expecting, with careful exploration to get a good one for 374. d. to £2 2s, a week, after having set myself into n boarding house from which to. make my forays.

I should furniture this flat with oddments picked up from auction and bargain sales, the minimum re- quirements, and it is surprising how little you need to be comfort- able when you do what the Aus- tralians do, get out into the open air.

Naturally I should aim for a Bat with a good number of things built in, and these can certainly be had. If the war lasts another year or more you will have effected a save, and have articles with a re-sole value Into the bargain. The funger you stay the greater the advantage but no advantage unless you do it right away,

It may sound tiresome, or im- practical, because you are up in ihe air, and ennnot feel that_you__ want to settle in-but I have done this before and have proved it to my satisfaction.

The main thing is to take your bits and pleces from here not for- getting your pols and pans-these ure the things that cost money when you are setting up a house.

should not advise taking furniture with you, the freight is I believe very high. However, you may still, as when last I went on leave, lake in household effects up to £100 duty free provided you are to be resident in the country for six months or more. Regula- tions change in war-time, so make inquiries about these points.

TO both types of visitors I any take all your summer and winter clothes. Leave nothing behind that Is wearable. There are vagaries in the climate especially in sum- mer which proves this advice is sound.

A warm summer's morning can be as chilly as a duchess's dismissal by mid-day with a great deal less warning, so keep your cardigans and pull-overs ever near your hand.
