"IS WELLINGTON A CAMPER'S DELIGHT?"
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—-Is Wellington always to be in the background for not having sufficient places of interest for campers? There should be ample room for more picnic reserves and parks and also motor-camps which I know at present are not enough for the numbers which come to our city for the holiday season. Having visited New Plymouth over the Christmas' period I was surprised at the surprising number of motorcamp sites skirting the town. Couldn't we, here in Wellington, have a beautiful site similar to the magnificent Pukekura Park? Its water-lily-covered corners of the lakes and the gentlysloping hillsides abundant with the growth of pohutukawas cannot help stirring the admiration of visitors.
Our own Botanical Gardens could, if the money were available, be made more beautiful. Wellington cannot afford to lose the good name of being an attractive city.—l am, etc.,
SEMPER EIDBM.
