Two Christchurch girls camping in the Arawata Valley.1938.

About this image

DescriptionOff the beaten track for holidays: summer exploration in the remote and beautiful Arawata Valley, Westland, to which the vacation party, their stores and equipment were conveyed by aeroplane. A novel holiday was recently concluded by two Christchurch girls who decided to spend some days in the valley of the Arawata River, which has its source in the icefields of the Southern Alps. They were taken by aeroplane from Waiho, and the valley provided a good landing place. They established a camp there, and spent a pleasant holiday in the lonely valley, returning by aeroplane at the end of the time.
