Summary

Description

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "To the north of Lake Taupo is the celebrated 'Hot Lakes' district. Rotorua is the railway terminus, and here are many hot springs, geysers, and mud baths. Lake Rotomohana, at the foot of the volcano of Tarawera, is actually boiling at that portion of its shore where formerly existed the 'Pink Terraces'.

This pumice-covered region was supposed to be infertile and supports only a useless 'manuka' vegetation, but it is now being brought under cultivation by scientific methods.

The natural wonders attract thousands of visitors."
