Well, the fishing certainly varies at Tolaga Bay. While the skin divers had poor results with their championships, only ten days later there were kahawai all over the place, snapper biting and even this beaut kingi, all to be caught off the wharf.
Hooked by Janice Gibson of 22 MacDonald Street and played and landed by Bill Moore of 19 Steed Avenue, this kingfish weighed 45lbs and measured 5'4". The boys at the wharf shed reckon it's the largest kingfish yet caught off the wharf.

From Maynard and Lorna Johns of 10 Heta Street we took a copy of the picture on the Christmas Card which was the idea of their son Warren.
Warren, 26, telecommunication officer with the meteorological office on Campbell Island, superimposed a picture of the island staff in a boat floating over the island base, signifying their wish to float out for Christmas. The message on the card reads "Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year from the 1966-67 Campbell Island Expedition".
From this remote base copies of the card went to many notables including the Queen, President Johnson and the Governor General.

Standing on one half of the large shed roof that landed on his property at 235 Stanley Road is Tom Ross.
Lifted bodily by a wind gust that was part of the dissolving cyclone "Dinah", the roof was blown from a shed in a section about 70ft away.
