This map shows the probable- route of tho proposed trans-Tasman flight on a course which could well lu chocked, as suggested in Wednesday's "Post" by a radio uiroctinn-findinu apparatus erected on the hills near Wellington. The course crosses the Victorian coast near Morriman Creek, 127 miles from Melbjurtie. Tho distance from that point across the Tasman is 1333 miles. Tho Southern Cross will make Now Zealand near Little Wanganui River, Karamea Bight, on tfee West Coast. From this point Wellington is distant 135 miles, Christchurch 152 miles,. New Plymouth 190 miles, and Auckland 342 miles. The course across Victoria will pass the mountain, Tom's Cap, 1196 feet, at the north-east extremity of the Fatigue Range. It is unlikely that tho airmen will follow the direct course from Little . Wanganui River to Christchurch, as it passes over the high mountains of the Southern Alps. If it is deoided to make Chrlstchurch the landing place the airmen will probably fly from Little Wanganui River across Nelson to the East Coast, and then follow the coast line down to Chrlstchurch. The direct distance from Melhourne to Wellington is 1595 milas, and to Auckland, New Plymouth, and Christchurch 1625, 1569, and 1497 miles respectively. All these distances are given In statute or "land" miles, and "The Post" Is indebted to Captain W. Stuart, of the Nautical Adviser's Office, who supplied this information.
