SEEING NEW ZEALAND
CHEAP TOURING TICKETS How many New Zealanders have eecn even a few of the principal scenic marvels of the “ Wonderland of the Pacific?” “What 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 little of their own country. They have yet to discover it —to assume the cloak of Christopher Columbus or Captain Cook—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 and flying over it the Union Jack, with its message of freedom, justice and noble ideals of character and service. ’ ’ The Railway 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.
