In the Tararuas

In the Tararuas.

The party of 15 members of the Tramping Club which visited the Waitewaewae district in the Tararuas at Easter received a rare gift—four days of fine weather. Under these auspicious conditions this area, probably the most beautiful in the Ranges, was seen to advantage. The Waitewaewae Stream was luxuriantly tranquil, the Otaki River clear and cold, the view from Mt. Crawford comprehensive.

The bush shows few signs, in the lower regions at least, of despoliation by introduced animals, and one could almost feel the restraining hand of Nature when intruding on the peace of such surroundings.

Coming trips are—

May 11-12: Lowry Trig. Working party to clear track to Trig Leader C. Stewart.

May 18-19: Muka-Muka-iti—The Peak—Orongorongo. Leader, Miss J. Eggers.

May 26: Te Kamimaru, Leader, Miss K. Muir.
