THIS is “Centre de Repos,” Tahiti’s new hill station, a few miles behind Papeete, and at an elevation of about 1,800 feet. The road to it and the buildings were built by the Army. Meals and furnished cabins can be had for an inclusive charge of 87 francs per day, and residents of the French Colony may enjoy here a healthy break away from the humidity of the coast. The photograph shows the town of Papeete and its harbour, in the distance.

Now that roads have come to the Pacific Islands, it is expected that lost Territories in the near future will have similar hill stations. —Photo by Frederick Simpson.
