The latest milking shed appliance made its debut in Gisborne recently when a Stimulex water spray brush stimulator and washer was installed on trial in Mr Peter Keiha's shed in the Matokitoki Valley. Invented some time ago, the appliance increases milk production by about 20%, and stimulates the cow to let its milk down immediately. Pictured operating the Stimulex is share-milker Noel McGrannachan.

A 36ft big game fishing launch, the Marlin, has been operating from Gisborne since early December. Skippered by Mr peter Brasting, of Tauranga, it also did a thriving trade during the holidays with sight-seeing tours around the bay. When this picture was taken, children of Hene Materoa Home were being treated to a Christmas party at sea by the Marlin's friendly skipper.
