FROM ALL PARTS
VISITORS PRAISE OHOPE GREATER CROWDS THAN USUAL It may be definitely claimed that Christmas and the New Year have brought with them record crowds to Ohope Beach where the camping grounds are literally covered with | the canvass of hundreds' of tents. The tourists come from every corner of the North Island and the great majority have nothing but praise for the beach and its beautiful surroundings. A Wellington businessman de>scribes it as the finest seaside spot in New Zealand, while a family from. Whangarei who intend camping for three weeks maintain that they will always spend their Christmas holidays in future at Ohope. From the Waikato and Thames Valley have come numerous motorists and campers, while the Auckland contingent is much greater than usual. A Danncvirkc party who came for three days, have decided, in j spite of the broken weather experienced earlier, to stay two weeks. By way of indicating the tendency of the holiday crowds to seek new haunts, visitors from Tauranga state that the crowd at Mount Maunganui is much smaller than usual.
