TRANS-TASMAN PASSAGES HEAVILY BOOKED Passages from New Zealand to Australia by the Monowai and the Wanganella are in heavy demand until the end of April, but intending passengers are being advised by shipping companies to apply for berths because last-minute cancellations always occur before a voyage. Sailing schedules for the Monowai after April are expected to be announced soon. The situation is the same for the Wanganella, which will sail from Wellington on February 3, March 3, March 17, and April 28. Sailing dates for May have not been announced, and it is not known whether the liner will be using Auckland or Wellington as a terminal after April.
