THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
WESTLAND’S GRANDEST PANORAMA. To the north of Okarito trig staton tiie sea. coast is a half-moon, and the. whole of Westland stretches as far as the eye can see, with. Okarito township and the immense, but singularly beautiful, Okarito lagoon, in all the shades of blue and green, in the foreground. To tiie south, a vast expanse presents itself of low morainic, bushclnd hills merging into the horizon, a wholly-broken coastline of bold bluffs and headlands, alluring beaches, and the bluest of blue inlets encircled ~y luxuriant green forest down to the waters’ edge. The trig station at Okarito is, in truth, an exceptional point of vantage from which all the scenic glories *>f Westland can bo seen in enchanting perspective. —E. E. Muir.
