HAAST PASS ROAD
.. One of the drawbacks to travelling down the West Coast of the South Island to see the incomparable scenery is that one has to retyrn one one’s tracks and go over the same ground again. But determined efforts are being made to continue the road from the Fox Claviers and over the Haast Pass to link up with the roads on the east side of the dividing range, When that is done the South Island will have one of the finest ibuild trips in the world. The traveller could then visit the Mount Cook district) do the Cold Lakes, Milford, _iind other gems of that part, cross the Haast, see the Fox, the Franz Josef, and make that fascinating drive through miles of forest, go through the Bidler, and so make the circuit of the South Island wonders without having to waste time by going twice over the same track. When the Haast Pass Road is made the South Island will have no need to complain that tourists are adi ised to spend most of their time in the north, because it is more convenient —the South Island will have a round trip that will attract people from all ' over the world.
