Pot Pourri
A Taumarunui visitor to Gisborne had his motoring holiday upset when he rolled his Mk 1 Zephyr Six into a deep drain at the corner of Huxley Road and De Lautour Road. The Fire Brigade was called in to spray the area with water because of a fire risk from leaking petrol.
Another deep ditch, at the Back Ormond Road-Main North Road intersection, also claimed a victim when this Humber 80 plunged in on its side.
The Gisborne City Council's newly-purchased road sweeper raises a large cloud of dust while cleaning up Gladstone Road.
