_ i ■t ' \yHEN the Tarawera eruption blew the famous Pink and White Terraces to piece» - it was considered- a major calamity. Nature, however, had a way of restoring the balance. At the recently opened thermal area of Orakei-Korako has been revealed terraces as great in extent as the lost ones and presenting every conceivable colouration 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 mighty back scene for the smiling farms of the model native settlement at its foot; the evergreen glades of the pine plantations of Forests' Products, Ltd.; a -tpuch of phantasy durihg a pause at the sacred "Witch's Rock"; Pohaturoa Peak, truly unique in the world; Atiamuri Rapids, Rainbow Fall, Inspiration Point and Whaka Heke rapids on the Waikato River. All provide fresh points of interest. Secondly, there is the unequalled area of Orakei-Korako itself. Refreshment may he had at the pleasantly situated tea-room, and competent guides ferry visitors across the Waikato River in a steel-cahled ferry $nd conduct them around the valley of enchantment where the great river provides a gentle undertone to the beautiful, bizarre and fascinating orchestration of Nature that is Orakei-Korako, "The Place of Adorning," with its crashing crescendo of colour, beauty and the fine fairy-like loveliness of Aladdin's Cave. It can fairly he claimed that Orakei-Korako has every form of thermal activity existent in the world and much that is found nowhere else. Geysers, fumeroles and pools, shimmering champagne cauldrons, tier on taer oi coloured terraces crowned by the solid silica buttress known as the "Golden Fleece," and colour piled on colonr. MONDAY.
