“BEST IN THE WORLD”
4 FISHING IN NEW ZEALAND Dominion Special Service. Auckland, February 13. “It is with much regret that I am leaving Australia, and particularly South Australia, and I wish it had been possible for me to have seen more of New Zealand,” said Sir G. T. M. Bridges, exGovernor of South Australia, who arrived by. the Aorangi from Sydney last evening. “I have just completed my term of five years,’and have made many friends whom lam loth to leave. It is my intention to spend a holiday here in the same way as I did last year. That is, a fortnight’s sword fishing up north and a similar time trout fishing at Taupo, and then I expect to be Home for Easter.” General Sir “Tom” Bridges visited New Zealand last' year, and in the middle of his holiday was recalled to Australia rather hurriedly. He considers the fishing here is the best in the world, but that it is not sufficiently advertised, particularly in Australia. It is his opinion that many people who go to Colonibo for their hol'days could be induced to conic over to New Zealand if more about its attractions were known.
