Commercial Bay is a nice modern shopping mall in downtown #Auckland which has a large international food court. Most of the restaurants are Asian, but you can also get real yummy Greek and non-Asian food. What is your favorite food? #NewZealand https://backpackandsnorkel.com/Auckland/#af

_The Evening Post_, 4 April 1925:
NEW ZEALAND AND THE EMPIRE
(REUTER’S TELEGRAM.)
(Received 4th April, 2 p.m.)
LONDON, 3rd April.
Earl Jellicoe made his first public appearance since his return as the guest of the annual dinner of the Association of British Chambers of Commerce. Replying to the toast of “Our Guest,” Earl Jellicoe expressed exceedingly deep regret at leaving New Zealand. He told how when a Peninsular steamer was going outwards as the Mooltan was anchoring at Tilbury, his children said: “Let’s go aboard the other ship and return to New Zealand.” He dwelt on the Dominion’s keenness for #trade within the Empire, which was primarily due to the New Zealanders’ characteristically strong patriotism and their strong Imperial instinct. Earl Jellicoe concluded by deploring Mr. Massey’s illness.

I was concerned that this report would place all the blame on the crew, but the systematic issues are at least partially addressed.
