Around About By Justine Weatlwrford Around About New Zealand Continued from last week Tuesday, Feb. 6, was national holiday, Waltangi Day, commemorating the 1840 signing of the treaty which established friendly relations between the Maoris and the Europeans. By 9 a.m. Mrs. Ross returned us to Ngakuru Hall where our tour bus and the rest of our companions came together, and we continued traveling south and easterly through the Whakarewarewa and Tahorukurl Forests and developing farmlands. The N.Z. forests contain many thousands of acres of hand-planted pine trees which are growing rapidly In neat, even rows. We stopped to view one of the world's foremost geothermal power projects at Wairakei. This steam generation plant was commissioned by tjie N.Z. government in 1958. By 1963, the plant's capacity was 192.6 M.W. I brought home a complete story of this huge geothermal plant from the Ministry of Energy, and I would be pleased to lend it to Interested persons. By noon we were at large, beautiful Lake Taupo, N.Z.'s largest lake that is world-renowned for its trout fishing. Before lunching and doing a little shopping in Taupo City, we visited a honey farm where Interesting honeoy-mixtures are made and sold. That afternoon our travel continued through rugged gorges and past interesting farms to Hawkes Bay District around the west coast town of Napier where we met our host families for the next two night's of home visiting. Mrs. King and 1 were picked up Jane O'Brien, and after accompanying her on shopping trip, a stop at her mother-in-law's home in Hastings and at the boarding school there where the O'Brien's daughter attends, we three drove out into the rugged hills to the sizable O'Brien's "Ard Lussa" ranch with a swimming pool at its front and a lawn tennis court at one side of their nicely landscaped yard. They raise sheep and cattle (4,000 units) on their hilly property which contains a deep canyon with a stream where wild mountain goats roam. They also have a good number of wild turkeys on their place, and too many gophers and possums. We really enjoyed visiting there and sharing five family meals. After a good Thursday breakfast, Mrs. O'Brien took us back to our bus and driver, Russell McPike, gave us an extra look along Napier's beach front before we retraced our way back to Taupo. There we again lunched before our afternoon journey up State Highway One through several timber towns (Tokorca and Putaruru) before entering the lush farming lunds southeast of Auckland where we saw great farm homesteads. On some of them N.Z.'s greatest race horses are bred and trained. We reached our night's stop, a big modern lodge, very close to the Auckland International Airport before dark. The next morning we were off on a sightseeing tour of N.Z.'s beautiful, largest city with its fabulous harbor, exciting homes and gorgeous parks. Our N.Z. visiting terminated at the superb botanical gardens and the closeby War Memorial Museum where we had lunch before moving back to the airport and catching our afternoon flight westward to Sydney, Australia. , Around About Australia Our afternoon flight brought us to Sydney, Australia about dark. Again the filled 'plane got a thorough spraying before anyone or anything began to move off to go through the entry process. Because our 22 person group had visited on ranches in New Zealand we were given a very careful checking over even needing to show officials the soles of our shoes before we were permitted to transfer to our downtown hotel. By 9:30 a.m. the next day, we were bussed to the Circular Quay where we boarded the Motor Vessel "City of Sydney" for a sunshiny tour of the city's beautiful harbor, a part of which "Botany By" was explored by Captain James Cook in 1770 before he sailed on northward and claimed eastern Australia for England, which again like with N.Z., was a steal from the early Dutch whose navigators had already charted these Islands and were calling them "New Holland." Over 80.000 Aborigines (descendents of dark-skinned people who settled there about 12,000 years ago) live on this only continent that is also a country, a member of the Commonwealth of Nations with Queen Elizabeth as its symbolic ruler. Continued next week American Legion and Aux. hold meeting The Heppner American Le gion and Auxiliary met follo wing a family politick dinner on Monday. Mar. 5, A birthday cuke celebrating organization of the American Ix-gion was served to members, reported a spokesperson. Tentative plans have been made for a Saturday.
