RUSSELL VIA WHANGAREI
Sir.-Much resentment has been felt locally by a broadcast by Rod Talbot from Auckland advising intending fishermen to avoid the Russell-Whangarei Road and go to Paihia, as the road was uninteresting, particularly the last 20 miles. One pities another making such a statement. Included in the last 20 miles of that road is the National Bush Reserve which constitutes part of this scenic route. Apart from some magnificent Kauri trees bordering the road through the bush, the glorious panoramas seen as the traveller makes his way to Russell shows where the Bay of Islands got its name. No matter what time of day this trip may be made, the islands set in the sea cannot fail to fascinate even worldtravelled tourists, I can only sum up in words of Don Walter, Pan American Airways Airport Manager of recent date: "We have Rotorua-only more of it — but boy! We haven’t anything like Russell and the Bay of Islands in the States."
