A small party of ladies, to whom Mr G. Gappcr acted as leader, made a trip up the newly opened Ohau track in the Tararua foothills yesterday ' afternoon. The weather was ideal for tramping, and all enjoyed the outing. The journey is somewhat more difficult than on the Waiopehu track, but the visitors were compensated by the much more varied vegetation, which includes nikaus in all stages of growth, giant lichens, great festoons of moss, and quaint ferns. The tramp extended for about two miles into the bush, which was entered" a mile from the pipe bridge, so the ladies were responsible for quite a good half-day’s performance, considering the broken nature of the country. In two places the track was found to be obstructed by trees brought down by the recent gale.
