ROUTE FROM VICTORIA TO THE LAKE GOLDFIELDS. The shortest route is via Invereargill, which is at least one day nearer Victoria than Dunedin. The steamers Gothenburg and Edina call regularly at Invereargill, and the Aldinga and Omeo at th* Bluff, which is distant from town 20 miles. From Invereargill the North Road is followed, beginning at Dee-street. About four and a half miles from town the road turns to the left, and from thence to Winton Bush the dray track should be kept, then the Survey Line to the River Oreti, and irom thence the dray track should be kept to the foot of the Lake. If the . Oreti is high the east bank can be kept all the way. There is a track leading back from the accommodation house on Rogers' station, which saves fording twice. By this route the distance is only 92 miles from Invereargill, the road perfectly level, and there are accommodation houses all the way. From Dunedin via Kingston, (foot of the Lake) the distance is 220 miles ; via the Dunstan, 150 miles. This latter road is mountainous* to a degree. None other need apply. Office of this paper.
