SEEING NEW ZEALAND.
CHEAP TOURING TICKETS.
How many New Zealanders have seen even a few of the principal scenic marvels of the 11 Wonderland of the Pacific”? ‘‘Wliat is a little disconcerting,” remarked Lord Bledisloe recently, ‘‘is to find that most New Zealanders—even those of means who can afford to travel—know relatively littlix of their own country. They have to discover it—to assume the Christopher Columbus or Captain 1 —and put personally to the test the inexpressible joy of gazing with rapture upon the numerous aesthetic gems of their national heritage, with proud consciousness that it is their own fatherland and trebly blessed by its having, moreover, an incomparable climate anil flying over it the Union Jack, with its message of freedom, justice and noble ideals of character and service.”
The Railways Department is always in readiness to help New Zealanders to see this country cheaply and safely. Details of bargains in tourist tickets are advertised in this issue.
