Our Cover

Gracing our colour cover this month is Gisborne's winner of the 1962 "Mrs New Zealand" title, Mrs Joan Coates, pictured here with her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Tessa, in the beautiful gardens at their home in Stout Street.

Back Cover: Adding a blaze of colour to the countryside at Matawhero is the extensive sweet pea farm at the "Triangles", on the Manutuke Highway, pictured here in all its glory during the summer months.
