_The Evening Post_, 11 April 1925:
IMPROVEMENTS AT 1YA
According to the “New Zealand Herald,” #1YA has greatly moderated its broadcast service.
Afternoon broadcasts from 2.30 to 4.30 have commenced, and will be given on four afternoons a week. While mechanical music will be given at first, it is understood that other arrangements are being made for the immediate future. Permission has been obtained to install a microphone in “Dixieland,” and the work is to be proceeded with at once. The long-waited microphones for 1YA have been dispatched from Australia, and upon their arrival it is proposed to immediately broadcast the Lyric Theatre Orchestra and the Dixieland dance music. It is hoped to obtain a room below the studio to receive the artists and to serve as a waiting-room, so that no other than the person being broadcasted will be allowed in the studio.…
The writer of the foregoing (“Thermion”) states that with the increase of 1YA's wavelength to 420 metres, a good deal of interference by ship’s morse on 450 metres has been experienced. The station has reverted to 330 metres, and, although the input power has been raised to 200 watts, … there is no apparent increase in the volume locally.

_The Evening Post_, 7 April 1925:
DRIFTING SAND
FORESTRY OFFICERS INSPECT
COMBATING RELENTLESS
ADVANCE.
Good agricultural #land in various parts of the Dominion is being seriously threatened by the continuous and unrelenting drift of sand, and although much has been done by the State Forestry Service… to combat this, further experimental work is at present being carried out…. Altogether there are 92,000 acres [37K ha] of dune country in the #Wellington area, and 183,000 acres [74K ha] in the #Auckland district.
The menace… has become manifest particularly along the coast of the North Island between Wellington and New Plymouth, and the north coast of Auckland…
The theory advanced for the spread of the sand dune country is that before the advent of the European population…, the greater part of the sandy land was more or less stable, and Dr. L. #Cockayne, hon. botanist to the Department, declares that over-grazing and injudicious stock of land has caused it to become loose.
… settlers along the coast… refuted this suggestion…
As the waste sandy country is privately owned, very little action is being taken…, but… the Government, by… the Sand Drift Act… has power to undertake the work itself.

We loved this museum in #Auckland , which has a collection of 130 watercraft from model ships to fully operational ships focusing on ocean travel from Polynesians, #Maori and European settlers to modern times. How did you like it? #NewZealand https://backpackandsnorkel.com/Auckland/#ad
