BATEMAN’S BAY. (From our Correspondent.) Easter brought a large influx of visitors – boarding houses were crowded. The car traffic easily reached a record. At last the South Coast Prince’s Highway is yearly gaining popularity; A visit has been made recently by Mr. Donaldson, Inspector of Aboriginals, and I hear he told them that the Land’s Department required their reserve for allotments and that soon changes would be made for their betterment; Anzac Day was marked by the usual impressive ceremony at the Honour Stone. These Honour Stones are proving to be dumb, gaping mouths which will never permit the memory of our part in the great struggle to be forgotten. The stone was decorated by the Public School pupils and was embedded with wreaths, crosses, etc.
