THE BEAL MOTORING HOLIDAY Take the Lake Road to Queenstouln Ref urn through Sunny Central Otago a HEN the road between Kingston and Queenstown was formed it opened a ¥ 1 route which has captured the admiration of every motorist who has travelled . « over it—the sunshine route through the Lakes District of Central Otago, it 7. '> ' Off is a route which must appeal to everyone. Those who follow it see majestic * ** 'ISi peaks towering above the unplumbed depths of Lake Wakatipu, distant views , "JK '’Sr" of snow-capped ranges, the leafy lanes and quiet happiness of Queenstown, the rugged splendour of Central Otago with its cavernous cliffs, its outcropping rocks jutting from the hillsides in mighty buttresses, and precipitous gorges with their tales or ' 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 we ' perfect holiday. . 1 To drive from Kingston to Queenstown is a delightful experience in itself. M °*°nsts will be as charmed with their drive -along the east shore of far-famed Wakatipu as they will be satisfied with the safety and good surface of the road. . Queenstown, nestling in a sunny bay of the lake and appearing to the traveller as z. a gem in one of nature’s finest settings, is on the border of romantic gold-nunmg/-It was not far from here that Fox and his party worked for months in a hidden vaheyup , ,' - ’ < " the Arrow, accumulating unheard of quantities of gold from the river g rav^ sand ™ gV. . . nocturnal excursions to replenish his stores, until one day he was followed and the Arrow , became a gold miners’ Mecca. The country round here is the scene of other stones equalty » A' '""A M as romantic. Those who find pleasure in delving into the past will be amply satisfied by ; what inquiries into Arrowtown’s past will reveal. - . -' \ From Queenstown, the motorist travels along the tree-girt flank of Lake Hayes,. and . • , ' - ' ' from there the road ruks parallel for miles with the Kawarau Gorge which still guards | its wealth from the prying hands of man. On either side craggy cliffs tower skywards and strange rock figures on the skyline reveal nature as a sculptor with fanciful ideas. Cromwell the living heart of Central Otago, is an illustration of the successful > applka^J irrigation to what was before barren country, and „ availed . a ' I ■ ■ its fertility by Alexandra and the surrounding districts.
