A Neat Little City and its Environs: Told by the Camera.
A glimpse of Whangarei, North Auckland, New Zealand.
The Whangarei Falls, one of the beauty spots of the Far North. (Rly. Publicity photos.)
No longer dependent entirely on the sea, and now well served by railway and road, Whangarei is a key point of the North Auckland peninsula. Having mineral as well as agricultural resources, Whangarei is broader-based than most provincial districts, and it has beauties of forest and fall. The Whangarei Falls shewn in the photograph are some three and a half miles from the town, and seventeen miles away are the great Wairua Falls. Kauri grandeur is seen at Puhipuhi. The town itself has a prettiness of its own. Its taste for native growth is seen in puriri avenues in streets. It has municipal status.
