C.V.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) SYDNEY.
Plans are being made to establish a high-altitude training camp in New Guinea, to be used for training and accli- ■ matisation for the 1968 Olym- ' pic Games. The secretary of the New South Wales Athletic Coaches’ Association (Mr W. Robertson) said yesterday he hoped the first party would use the camp in January. The camp site was located above 6000 ft in the New Guinea Highlands where the atmospheric conditions were very similar to those at Mexico City, which was 7415 ft above sea level.
