tedious to say that it is beautiful 01 vonderful-that is taken for granted Had it been otherwise I would not have wanted to tour it for three m "I believe I have visited every town in New Zealand except some small places in the Nelson district. I know how I want to tour, as I have done u in Kenya and other countries. I just went into a motor factory bought a truck and told them I wanted it converted into a caravan by the next afternoon. At first they wanted to persuade me to tour in a car with trailer but I detailed what I wanted, canvas over a frame, and a few clamps —all done in a few hours. I also told them to furnish it with electric light and a radio. It was finished by the next afternoon as I said. It just needed to be done in the right way, only strong enough to last a few weeks "I started out on November 28 from Christchurch, where I was fortunate in picking up a good driver Away we went, seeing New Zealand probably as few have seen it, enjoying every minute of one of the best summers I have known. I have not slept in a New Zealand hotel or boarded a New Zealand train during my tour. Where my caravan rested was my home. I sold the truck last night—the tour was ended!" Mr Dixon left for Sydney en route to Tientsin by the Maunganui on Tuesday.
