“THE SUNNY LAKES”
QUEENSTOWN AND ROTORUA COMPARED. (Per United Press Association). DUNEDIN June 12. At the pre-sessionai meeting of Otago members of Parliament with the Expansion League, Mr Todd (the president), blamed the Government for failing to advertise the scenic wonders of Otago and tourist agents for frightening visitors with tales of the freezing south. On the coldest day in Queenstown the temperature was 42 deg. and in Rotorua 44.8 deg. The mean temperature of Rotorua was 54.6 deg. and Queenstown 50.1 deg. In all literature issued by the Government he would like to see the word “Cold” (Lakes) obliterated. They should be called sunshine lakes because there was more sunshine in Central Otago than anywhere else in New Zealand.
