Wanganui is a sleepy town with a great many churches, schools, and colleges, and an excellent little museum; the hotels are good, and the shops up-to-date. We had ample time during the long afternoon to see all there was to be seen, and as we had the whole of the next morning, our train not leaving until nearly noon, we spent a long time in the Museum examining Maori curios and New Zealand stones and minerals.
