Waiwera Warkworth, Wellsford, Maungaturoto, Waipu, Whangarei, Kawakawa. Whangaroa, Mangonui, Kaitaia, Kohukohu, back to Whangarei, across to Dargaville, Mititai, Ruawai, Paparoa, back to Wellsford, Port Albert and through Glorit was the route followed. The journey occupied a week.

The tour,, which was made in Mr Diprose's Ford car, was accomplished without a mishap of any description.
