LINER STRATHNAVER AT AUCKLAND
AUSTRALIAN TOURISTS' ! VISIT (PBISS ASSOCIATION TBUSG&AM.) AUCKLAND, March 13. With more than 100 Australian tourists on board, the P. and O. liner Strathnaver arrived at Auckland this afternoon on the final Trans-Tasman tourist cruise of the season. Officials of the New Zealand Gov-, ernment Tourist Department travelled on the liner from, Australia and arranged large bookings for various overland tours during the visitors' brief stay in the Dominion. Many, of the tourists are making one-day trips to Rotorua; and others are leaving on overland rail and car tours of the North Island, all visiting Rotorua and then going on via National Park, New Plymouth, or Napier to Wellington. The Strathnaver will leave Auckland at 11.15 p.m. to-morrow for Wellington, sailing from Wellington for Sydney on Monday night. This is the Strathnaver's second trip of the season. All told, there have been five tourist, cruises by the Strathnaver, the Strathaird, the Orawa, and the Otranto, with a total of 4600 tourists, as against 4300 last season. The increase is the result of co-operation between the Tourist Department and the shipping companies.
