SUNDAY MAIL BRISBANE 6th July 1988.
John Julius can see Australians flying to London by rocket. The man called the "Father of Queensland Travel Industry or "Father J" says "It will be supersonic first and then the rocket and I won't be here to see it" John retired from the industry and his job as a director of Jetset Tours in Q'land this week and renowned for his wisdom and sound advice.
John began his career in travel during the war when he was one of the Australian Airmen fighting in the European theatre. He was a navigator in Iceland and then North Ireland doing coastal command work. Then it was back to do the farming at Eight Mile Plains, taking over from his father on the farm.
But the call of the air was too strong and he joined Aust. National Airlines in 1955 as Traffic Officer. He joined Carlton Travel Bureau in 1957. It was called Carlton because it operated from the foyer of the Carlton Hotel. Queen St., Brisbane. Carlton Travel became Carlton Astronaut and is now Jetset Tour.
John said he's glad he's getting out of the travel game The competition is more intense. A lot of character has gone out of the business and the characters a disappearing too. There's no fun any more. It used to be a glamourous industry, but not any longer its too much like hard work. John says there won't be such things as cheap fares until they can find an alternative fuel for the airlines. But they'll find it, I don't think we'll ever have to go back to sailing ships!.
