TWEED RETAINS ITS POPULARITY

Boxing Day broke gloriously fine, and the beaches at Rainbow Bay, Greenmount, and Kirra were crowded during the morning, full advantage being taken of the sunshine. In the after noon there was light rain. The crowds on the beaches appeared to be larger than in previous years. A treasure hunt on Kirra Beach attracted a large number of children.

Many holiday-makers walked to Point Danger, Razorback, and other vantage spots from which to view the scenery.

Light rain at night did not deter young people from visiting various carnivals and attending either pictures or dance halls, which were again filled to capacity. Trains for Brisbane this afternoon took back a large contingent of holiday-makers who are due at work to-morrow.
