MAJESTIC KAURIS
GREAT SCENIC VALUE Several years ago Mr H. GutbrieSmith, the farmer-naturalist of Tutira, Hawke’s Bay, remarked that his two most wonderful impressions of New Zealand came from majestic kauri trees and the vast night flights of mutton birds as they landed in myriads on an islet near Stewart Island. He is an eloquent pleader for a saving of the last of the great kauri trees or the northland and other localities of Auckland province. Similar requests have come from many distinguished visitors who have declared that New Zealanders do not seem to appreciate the tourist value of kauri forests, which they have highly praised as, scenic assets, more distinctive of the Dominion than tho mountains, glaciers, lakes, and iherwal marvels.
