The New Zealand Railways Magazine, Volume 9, Issue 8 (November 1, 1934)

New Zealand Railways Magazine

New Zealand Railways Magazine.

It has been decided to increase the size of the December issue of this Magazine to 64 pages. In addition to our usual features there will be published a special article, with accompanying illustrations, dealing with the new railway station at Wellington, the prize-winning story in the New Zealand Women Writers' and Artists' Short Story Competition, and other special features of topical interest. The Magazine will be well illustrated with typical New Zealand views, making it especially attractive for posting to friends and relatives in New Zealand and overseas.

Hills and Placid Water Blend: Told by the Camera. Beautiful Whangaroa Harbour, North Island, New Zealand. (Rly. Publicity photos.) Reflections in Lake Rotoma, North Island, New Zealand. New Zealand is rich in lakes and in land-locked waters that might be lakes. Compare this study of reflections in Rotoma with the placid waters of Whangaroa Harbour as seen from the dome of St. Paul's. Long before Wren, Nature's architects were busy at Whangaroa, with the result that the township is overlooked, not merely by a St. Paul's but even by a St. Peter's, and other hills help to give the harbour its land-locked appearance. Here occurred, in 1809, the massacre of the crew of the ship “Boyd” by Maoris. From Otiria railway station a short motor journey brings the tourist to this rare bit of old New Zealand.
