Reassuring Expedition Offsets Oyster News
This seasoh's evidence that New Zealand’s best oyster beds are badly depleted, together , with the threat of increased Japanese fishing operations tn our waters, has aroused widespread foreboding However, for the many people to whom seafood delicacies provide seasonal highlights there is splendid reassurance in an expedition to New Zealand's most majestic fiord. Milford Sound
Besides scenery that has few equals in the world, the Sound is the setting for a superb modern hotel which is talked about by veteran travellers with affection whenever the subject of memorable sea-food meals crops up Lobsters—crayfish to us—are a speciality of the altogether notable cuisine They are available fresh from the Sound for every meal including breakfast The dining-room is named the Lobster Pot and in the kitchen a large pot of live lobsters is always in evidence
Of course, it is the scenery —dramatic Mitre Peak and the spectacular double leap made by Bowen Falls—that the guide books talk about But the splendid comfort of modem, centrally - heated Hotel Milford (pride of the T.HC chain) is as much of a lure once you’ve been there The hotel is now open all winter, accessible most of the time by bus and all the time by -air Inquire from your travel agent or write to PO Box 2840. Wellington, for a brochure and tariff details. —Advt.
