This aerial view shows the source of the Waikato River, whose outlet from Lake Taupo, at Taupo, forms a harbour for the steadily increasing fleet of launches and other small craft based at the northern end of New Zealand's greatest lake. The buildings in left foreground are those of the Ministry of Works Wairakei Geothermal Project offices. The area with trees between there and the river is the Municipal Motor Camp. The open space, left centre, is the Sports Ground, with the Taupo-nui-a-Tia War Memorial Hall in far corner. On left of the river outlet is the Wharf and Landing Reserve. The open space amidst trees left of the Landing Reserve is the Bowling Green. —Gillies Smith, photo.
