Members of the Gisborne 2 N.Z.E.F. Association are busy these weekends gathering scrap iron in a drive to raise funds to build themselves club rooms. They struck a rich haul at Mr McDonald's farm, Omaha, at Manutuke, and came away with two truckloads and a trailer loaded with old car engines.

The joys of tramping across country are unbounded for the young and the fit, but they are enhanced still further if the weather is fine. Recently nine members of the Gisborne Youth Hostels Association tramped from the Ruakituri valley across country to Lake Waikaremoana via the old armed constabulary track, and enjoyed it all except for the rain. This picture shows members having a meal on the way in heavy bush country. The trip took two days.
