Scenic Beauty of Hongi’s Track
REPAIRS TO* NOTICES URGED ROTORUA, Feb. 12. The opinion that tho erection of fences would spoil the appearanco of the bush along Hongi’s Track, between Rotorua and Whakatane, was expressed by members of the Rotorua County Council to-day when the suggestion, which was made by tho Lake Roto-iti Scenic Reserve Board, was under discussion. The Under-Secretary of the Lands and Survey Department wrote stating that the suggestion had been made to the department by the board, but the writer considered it inadvisable to mar the scenic b&auty of the bush by erecting fences.
It was decided to suggest to the Roto-iti Scenic Board and the Tourist Department that steps should be taken to repair the notices adjacent to the ‘‘wishing tree” and other points of in terest. These explain something of Maori history and legend attaching to the various spots and are of particular interest to visitors.
