People who have not yet had an opportunity to enjoy the thrillful snowsports near the Mt. Cook Hermitage should be keenly interested in the special concessions now offered for a trip to the Alpine Wonderland.

Everybody knows, of course, that railway fares have been reduced substantially, but this is not the only saving available to excursionists. The Mt. Cook Tourist Company has cut its tariff, so that accommodation at the Hermitage now ranges from 15/- a day (a reduction of 25%). A further concession of 10% is granted to persons who stay seven days and 15% to those who stay 14 days or more. Instalment payment may also be arranged for accommodation.

Cars leave Timaru on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 12.30 p.m., arriving at the Hermitage at 6.30 p.m. Cars return on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, leaving at 7.30 a.m., to connect with express trains north and south.
