| ENCHANTING! INSPIRING! ORAKEI-KORAKO ' The Place of Adorning The Delightful Trip to Amazing Aladdin's the World' s Greatest Cave Terraces Tremendous River; Fearsome Underground .Rapids, etc.; Geysers 36 miles of good road HOOK AT N.Z.R. ROAD SERVICES, TUTANEKAI STREET

'^yHEN the Tarawera eruption blew the famous Pink and White Terraces to pi«cel it was considered a major calamity. Nature, however, had a way of restorinfj 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 colour®" tion from glittering white to deepest jade. The Orakei-Korako trip, however, niust be considered in two sections. Firstly, the absorbing'fnterest of scenery on the roaa out where the heavily-timbered crown on the Horohoro ramparts throws a nngtty back scene for the smiling farms of the model native settlement at its foot; tn evergreen glades of the pine plantations of Forests' Products, Ltd.; a toueh oi phantasy during a pause at the sacred "Witch's Rock" ; Pohaturoa Peak, truly in the world; Atiamuri Rapids, Rainbow Fall, Inspiration Point and Whaka rapids on the Waikato River. All provide fresh points of interest. Secondly> ther is'the unequalled area of Orakei-Korako itself. Refreshment may be hadj at tn pleasantly situated tea-room, and competent guides ferry visitors across the WaiKM? River in a steel-cabled ferry and conduct them around the valley of enchantmeu where the great river provides a gentle undertone to the beautiful, bizarre && fascinating orchestration of Nature that is Orakei-Korako, "The Place of Adornin*» with its crashing crescendo of colour, beauty and the fine fairy-like loveliness o . Aladdin's Cave. It can fairly be claimed that Orakei-Korako has every fw® thermal activity existent in the world and much that is found nowhere else.
