Distinguished visitors from other countries have glowing praise for the marvels of this region—a majesty of scenery almost overpowering in its splendour —and when some New Zealanders read, the tributes of those travellers they have an eager desire to enjoy those thrills, but the trip is deferred. In such cases the cause of procrastination cannot be the cost of that ideal holiday. An advertisement in this issue shows attractive concession scales of transport and accommodation.
