WAIOTAPU THERMAL AREA The Artists' Paradise A display of such conglomeration of colours— - which vary with the idiosyncrasies of the fairies, expressed by waving their magic wands over the area — as to be beyond human conception. Multitudinous tints and colourings in amazing panoramic displays; remarkable terrace formations wonderfully and variedly coloured; deep craters with precipitous sides; a galaxy of colours and an aweinspiring exhibition of beautiful sulphur crystals; a picture of colours that would be the delight of an artist — the colourful gem in tbe Rotorua Thermal Belt. The Lady Knox Geyser entertains every morning at 10 o'clock. Admission: To Sights, 2/6; to Geyser, 1 /-. • ' Return fare by service car: 7/6. RAINBOW SPRINGS Hourly servic© by Ngongotaha bus from Road Services' Office. FARE: 1/6 — Guide Fee 1/-. The Rainbow Springs rapidly achleved fame as on® oi Rotorua's most popular beauty spots. Thres pools, set In an environment of bush and fern, contain large humbers of trout, including many of considerable size. The igraceful movements of the flsh, the fins servlrig variously as oars and balancers, can be vlewed to advantage. When shafts of sunlight play on the water the effect is beautiful. The rainbow trout is then revoaled as one of Nature'is flnlshed works of art. It has an lncomparable delicacy of form with markinga that show an extraordlnary range of tints and pencillings. The Rainbow Springs reglon contains a large varlety of shrubs and ferns. It is in faot j a magTiiflc6nt and axtensive shrubbery through which ! shady'paths are laid.

"^yHEN the Tarawera eruption blew the famous Pink and White Terraces to pi«ce' it was cohsidered a major calamity. Nature, however, had a way of rest^y ■ the balance. At the recently opened thermal area of Orakei-Korako hasbeen reT "L. terraces as great in extent as the lost ones and presenting every conceiVable c°lou tion from glittering white to deepest jade. The Orakei-Korako trip, however, ® , ; \ be considered in two sections.
