Around About

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.

Many families fail to do -estate
planning because they
are unaware of their increa
sing net worth, and they are
unaware of possible problems
from inadequate plans for
transferring their property.
Estate planning permits the
ioice of beneficiaries, lea
ving property to minors in the
most-suitable way, naming of
guardians for minors, setting
your own rules for manage
ment of your estate, naming
someone to handle your
estate, and saving on admi
nistrative and tax costs -Alice

lawyer and a home economist.
She will present information

estate tax planning. It is not
intended as a substitute for
advice from legal and tax
consultants.
