^HEN the Tarawera eruption blew the famous Pink and White Terraces to P^«ce® it -was considered a major calamity. Nature, however, had a way of restorin® the balance. At the recently opened thermal area of Orakei-Korako has heen revealej terraces as great in extent as the lost ones and presenting every conceivable colour* tion from glittering white to deepest jade. The Orakei-Korako trip, however, mu* be considered in two sections. Firstly, the ahsorbing interest of scenery on the roa* out where the heavily-timbered crown on the Horohoro ramparts throws a niignt* back scene for the smiling farms of the model native settlement at its foot; ti* evergreen glades of the pine plantations of Forests' Produets, Ltd.; a fe>uch * phantasy during a pause at the sacred "Witch's Rock"; Pohaturoa Peak, truly umq* in the world; Atiamuri Rapids, Rainbpw Fall, Inspiration Point and Whaka He« rapids on the Waikato River. All provide fresh points of interest. Secondly, tne* is the unequalled area of Orakei-Korako itself. Refreshment may be had at t* pleasantly situated tea-room, and 'competent guides ferry visitors across the Waika* River in a steel-cabled ferry and conduct them around tlje valley of enchantmei® where the great river provides a gentle undertone to the beautiful, bizarre a* fascinating orchestration of Nature that is Orakei-Korako, "The Place of Adornmg* with its crashing crescendo of colour, beauty and the fine fairy-like lovehness « Aladdin's Cave.
