“The scenery at Lake Te Anau is inded beautiful,” remarked ono member of a fishing party which recently visited that lake (says an exchange)), “but it really cannot compare with Manajwuri. The character of the land sems to be altogether different. At Te Anau one sees rather flat rolling country, which, although impressive in its own way, altogether fails to conic up to the standard of Manapouri. Tho bush on the slopes of both the lakes were extremely fine, and lent tn the. waters an atmosphere of dignity which I doubt they would otherwise possess. One thing 1 did admire at Te Anau was the waterfalls our party came across. Some were about fifty feet, some were higher, but a good sized stream falling fifty feet looks very fine. One we saw. which I think is unnamed, should certainly be called the “Mare’s Tail,” as il falls over a rock and some little way down breaks up intn a shape just resembling a horse’s tale. “The scenery of liotli the lakes provided our party wi<h endless enjoyment,” he added, "and it is a great pity that more people do not know what enchanting views they are missing, when they are, so to speak, right under their noses.”
