CONDITION OF ROADS
HOLIDAY INFORMATION A.A. PATROL’S REPORT Rain fell yesterday north of the East Cape, but it was learned this morning from the resident A.A. patrol, Mr. G. V. Merton, that the scenic highway from Gisborne to Opotiki, via Cape Runaway, was not affected. The surface was splendid and the streams showed little signs of rising. To-day’s report is as follows: Gisbornc-Opotiki, via VVaioeka.— Good order; streams low. Gisborne-Opotiki, via Motu.—Winding and hilly road with splendid scenic views; if foggy or overcast at Matawai not worth while from a scenic point of view. Gisborne-Opotiki, via Cape Runaway.—Highway in good order for holiday traffic; stream crossings easy at present, and no trouble expected unless heavy rain sets in on the Bay of Plenty side of the Cape; loose metal for quarter of a mile at Tokomaru Bay.
Gisborne-Wairoa, via Tiniroto.— Good order.
Gisborne-Wairoa, via Morere. —Good order; corrugated surface near Nuhaka.
