THE IDEAL MOTORING HOLIDAY Take the Lake Road to Queenstoitin Return through Sunny Central Otago /- BEEN the road between Kingston and Queenstown was formed it openeda route which has captured the admiration of every motorist who has travelled » over it—the sunshine route through the Lakes Distnct of Central Otago. A /J S is a route which must appeal to everyone. These who follow it see» m j ‘ 'AL peaks towering above the unplumbed depths of Lake Wakatipu distant v- , of snow-capped ranges, the leafy lanes and quiet happiness of Queenstown, the rugged splendour of Central Otago with its cavernous cliffs, its outcropping locks j : r i; ting from the hillsides in mighty buttresses, and precipitous gorges with then tales hidden gold. No greater variety of scenic attractions is to be found on any other route in New Zealand; no other route can offer such a wide appeal to those who seek g . perfect holiday. " "" To drive from Kingston to Queenstown is a delightful experience , in^ts^ f A will be as charmed with their drive along the east shore of far-famed Wakatipu as t|jey - ‘ k will be satisfied with the safety and good surface of the road. ‘ - . ' . Queenstown, nestling in a sunny bay of the lake and appearing to 7 S a gem in one of nature’s finest settings, is on the border of romantic g° ld -™ nl^ J’ ( It was not far from here that Fox and his party worked for months in a dde ” yoking > A; the Arrow, accumulating unheard of quantities of gold from the river gravels and mak nocturnal excursions to replenish his stores, until one day he was llowed became a gold miners’ Mecca. The country round here is the scene of other as romantic. Those who find pleasure in delving into the past will be amply satisiied by [ .• what inquiries into Arrowtown’s past will reveal. z ' , - B From Queenstown, the motorist travels along the tree-girt flank of Lake Hayes an f from there the road runs parallel for miles with the Kawarau Gorge which still guards ? . » f | 'jfi bsLSfro™ the prylngtands ol man.
