EXCURSION TO AUCKLAND AND WAITOMO CAVES
It Is pleasing to learn that the Railway Department is arranging a week-end excursion to Auckland, including a visit to the Waitomo Caves. This excursion will take place next week-end, the excursion train leaving ■Wellington on Friday, 2nd March, arriving back on the Monday following at 7.0 a.m. The excursionists will have a whole day and night to enjoy the numerous attractions in and around the Queen City with its glorious harbour, and on the return journey on the Sunday a stop of six and a half hours will be made at Hangatiki for passengers to motor to Waitomo and explore the beauties of the Caves The fares show an outstanding reduction, being exactly half the ordinary rates. The loss of time, and worry, in seeking suitable lodgings often mars a holiday trip but this annoyance need not be considered as a hotel list at Auckland to suit all pockets can be inspected at all stations and accommodation can be reserved when purchasing the rail ticket. This service is performed gratis. It can bo confidently anticipated' that those making the trip will experience a very enjoyable week-end.
