in the numerous industrial developments. Whangarei is, of course, the centre of the North, and one gains an impression of the vastness of this great area from the continual activity in the town itself.
Within a short distance of Whangarei are several places of scenic interest, and Mair Park is being formed into a very delightful breathing space. The park
Whangarei Heads
lies in a natural valley within a short distance of the town. The sparkling swimming pool is surrounded by sloping banks of native bush very representative of New Zealand flora. The pool is sufficient in area to allow of punting and boating, and it is the natural bath of Whangarei’s coming generation.
