Dear friends - especially those out East .... A question please for the historian experts.
The date is (say) 1881. How would folks in Australia and New Zealand communicate with relatives back home in Ireland? And how would news items reported in (say) the New Zealand Herald find their way on to the pages of the Belfast Newsletter? My guess is via an old-fashioned physical postal service, real hard-copy letters mostly handwritten - rather than via some form of telegraph or telex. And also, how long would it typically take for news to travel? Any thoughts or views, actual examples? Any s uggestions highly appreciated.
