TONGARIRO NATIONAL PARK
CHEAP WEEK-END TRIPS. The opportunity to visit New Zealand’s big National Park over the week-end and at substantially reduced rates in rail and motor fares and hotel accommodation has caused considerable interest. The first excursion was run last week-end and the intention is to continue the excursions throughout the winter. ! Tho passengers from Wellington travel by the Wellington-Auckland express leaving Thorndon at 2 p.m. on Friday or Saturday and those from Napier, Wanganui, and intermediate stations connect with this train at Palmerston North and Marton respectively. They will be met at National Park Hailway station by motor cars and conveyed to Whakapapa Lodge, a distance of about 10 miles. Pending tho completion of the modern Chateau now in the course of construction, visitors will be well accommodated at tho Lodge, which is run on modern hotel lines. The special trips provide for either 12 or 22 days stay at the Park, and the return journey will be made by the Auckland-Well'ington express train arriving Wellington 12.38 p.m. Arrangements may be made and full particulars obtained from any Railway ißooking Office, or Government Tourist 'Office.
