The Tauranga Touch.

What makes Tauranga charm so many visitors is the variety of pleasing surprises it has in store. A mild and sunny winter is followed by an early spring and summer. Always you may go with confidence to Tauranga for a touch of summer warmth. The pleasures of the place are simple and full of ease. In the small hill reserve a few steps from the main street one meets the sun-warmed little breezes, lightly laden with the scent of flowers and grasses, as they play about among the braes and gently rustle the trees. Here, midst the light babble of children, many birds whistle and call in cheerful melody; whilst out upon the bay, white sails, and the chug chug of motorboats carrying their happy cargo of surfers and fishers, lend life to the scene of calm content in this lotus-land by the quiet seas of the sun-kissed Bay of Plenty. —X.Y.Z.
