MOTORISTS' CAMPS

The ever-growing army of motorists in Now South Wales are finding it in-

ciMsiugly difficulty at, week-ends and on

holidays^ to select camping spots which are away from the beaten paths and are not already the rendezvous of holidey makers. To meet the position, the National Roads and Motorists' Association, which-incidentally has a member--1 »kip of '22,000, with an addition to its membership of about 1000 a mouth, has adopted a far-reaching and ambitious policy which may conceivably have to be faced by motoring bodies in other parts of Australasia before long. The

association has acquired, as camping re

serves for its members and families and friends three large properties, .which it' proposes to develop along the country club lines in America* One of these properties, embracing in itself JWB acres, is on Hhe far-famed South Coast, and until now has been wasting iti sweetness on the desert air. One of th» most beautiful spots on the South Coast, with a magnificent surfing beach, graced fry an island standing like a sentinel in the sea, it has, like the violet, blushed practically unseen. The fish that riot there in thousands have known not the stratagems and plots' of the piscatory assassins.Tbe surf has curled up on the hard white beaih, in lonely splendour. The rabbits in the wooded country about have become fat and have multiplied. With facilities for surfing and shooting, and for golf, tennis, and other sports, it promises to become a motorists' paradise. " They will have the satisfaction, too, of knowing that they are on their own ground and cannot be crowded out.
