To School by Plane
According to an Auckland resident
who returned recently from the littleknown but rugged and beautiful South Weritland district, this is the only ipart of New Zealand, and possibly the world, where the children travel regularly to school by aeroplane. The only access to South Westland is by pack horse, he said, and the children were as much at home in a plane as other children were in the more prosaic school-bus. Pie added that each property had a landing ground, many of Ihese being constructed or subsidised by the Government.
