THE COAST
(Westland Cliurch Magazine). The people on the plains of Canterbury often boast Of their weather far superior to the Wild Wet Coast; They say gum boots and oilies are the things you need the most In Westland. Now if they’d only take the train at 10 a.m. one day Through Arthur’s Pass, Otira, and the harbour of the Grey, “There’s scenery worth gazing on at Hokitik’,” they’d say, in Westland. And notice, when on holidays they are completely free, Do they stick to Canterbury for the long awaited spree ? No! they take to train or motor for to visit you and me In Westland. For Westland may have weather of a complicated sort, But every man of brains and brawn knows surely that he ought To come, if he desires any kind of Alpine sport, To Westland. So pack your swag and take the trail by horse or foot or car; Let the dusty cobwebs of the long year’s work be blown afar By the heavenly breezes springing from the coast where glaciers are In Westland. H.J.W.K.
