CAMPING ON MILFORD SOUND ROAD
REGULATION PROVIDED IN BILL BEFORE PARLIAMENT
(From Our Parliamentary Reporter) WELLINGTON, September 12. Provision for the care and management of the national park areas along the Te Anau-Milford Sound road is made in the Reserves and Other Lands Disposal Bill which wa:. introduced in the House of Representatives today. In 1934 various areas of provisional State forest reserves totalling about -18,440 acres in the Eglinton and upper Hollyford valleys along the route of the road were declared by special legislation to be set apart for national park purposes. In the following year various areas of Crown land totalling about 90,650 acres in the same locality were permanently reserved for the same purpose but as the new road has become quickly popular with tourists and others it has been necessary to regulate camping on reserves along the road.
A clause makes it unlawful to camp at other than these places and contains penal provisions to enforce the law. i
