There is no need to enumerate Auckland's attractions in the midsummer of the year. The Duke will have three days at Government House in Auckland. Let us hope that he will be able to spend much of his time in enjoying the pleasant places of the wooded hills, the parks and the island-sheltered cruising waters of the Hauraki Gulf. Auckland has more than a dozen yacht and motor-launch clubs. A yachting cruise would be an agreeable change from so much land touring. But the southern parts call; the Duke will see more of the Dominion before he has finished than many a New Zealander sees in a lifetime. The Waikato is traversed again, and the strange, silent wonderland of the Waitomo and Ruakuri Caves, where the glow-worms hang out their glimmering fairy lamps, will be inspected before motoring through the heart of the island to the Tongariro National Park. The Chateau will be a highly fashionable resort this summer, and His Royal Highness, like the other visitors, will see the volcanic garden of the gods at its best, when for miles the tussocky downs and alpine meadows are strewn with flowers. Wild flowers and steaming volcanoes, blue lakes and bounding streams, snow and ice and boiling springs, they make a strange and wonderful whole; no country can show a more entrancing park of Nature's riotous making.
