PREVIOUS DISASTERS
SOUTHERN CLOUD MYSTERY The disappearance of the Miss Hobarfc constitutes the second aviation disaster in Australia this month. The first was the crash* of the Qantas aeroplane, Atalanta, between Longreach and Winton, in North Queensland, resulting in the death of the pilot and two passengers. The search for the Miss Hobart recalls more vividly, however, the disappearance of the Australian National Airways monoplane, Southern Cloud, somewhere in Victoria, on March 21, 1931, up to the present the worst disaster in the history of aviation in Australia.- There were six passengers and two pilots on the aeroplane on that ill-fated trip from Sydney to Melbourne, and in spite of an intensive search by land and air, which lasted for months, no trace of the machine or occupants has yet been found.
