TWHEN the Tarawera eruption blew the famous Pink and White Terraces to piecei 9r it was considered a major calamity. Nature, however, had a way of restoring Hjj the balance. At the recently opened thermal area of Orakei-Korako has been revealed Kj terraces as great in extent as the lost ones and presenting every conceivable coloura- ■ tion from glittering white to deepest jade. The Orakei-Korako trip, however, must », be considered in two sections. Firstly, the absorbing interest of scenery on the road out where the heavily-timbered crown on the Horohoro ramparts throws a mighw w back scene for the smiling farms of the model native settlement at its foot; tne n evergreen glades of the pine plantations of Forests' Products, Ltd.; a touch of flB phantasy during a pause at the sacred "Witch's Rock"; Pohaturoa Peak, truly umqu0 B. in the world; Atiamuri Rapids, Rainbow Fall, Inspiration Point and Whaka Hel£0 flft rapids on the Waikato River. All provide fresh points of interest. Secondly, there wm is the unequalle.d area of Orakei-Korako itself. Refreshment may be had at the pleasantly situated tea-room, and competent guides ferry visitors across the Waikato w River in a steel-cabled ferry and conduct them around the valley of enchanttnent * where the great river provides a gentle undertone to the beautiful, bizarre ana k fascinating orchestration of Nature that is Orakei-Korako, "The Place of Adorning, Hj with its crashing crescendo of colour,. beauty and the fine fairy-like loveliness oi w Aladdin's Cave. It can fairly be claimed that Orakei-Korako has every form oi v thermal activity existent in the world and much that is found nowhere else. Geysers, * fumeroles and pools, shimmering champagne cauldrons, tier on tier of colourea w terraces crown ed by the solid silica buttress known a9 the "Golden Fleece," and colour V piled on colour.
