TO ARKLE’S BAY.—The main North Road via Devonport to Whangarei is followed to Silverdale. After driving up through the town turn sharp to the right, when the corner of Arkle’s Bay Road will be seen turning to the right (20½ miles from Devonport). Now continue on, keeping to the right at the next few corners to drop down into Arkle’s Bay, where there is bathing, fishing, etc. A road turning to the left just before Arkie’s Bay Wharf goes to Polkinghorne's Beach, while the metalled Road immediately prior to this goes to Oyster Bay. If desired, continue past Arkie's Bay for a couple of miles to Manly Wharf. Opposite the wharf a road turns to the left to Manly Beach, on the other side of the peninsula. Fine camping site. Distances from Auckland: Arkle’s Bay, 25 miles; Manly, 27 miles.
FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE LORRY.—The bonnet opened to show the engine of a new German heavy-vehicle chassis with front-wheel drive. A remarkable feature is the manner in which engine and steering - gear are well in front of the front axle.
