This is Gisborne Too

During a recent trip to Australia, Miss E. Craw, of Atkinson St., paid a visit to Gisborne, Victoria. a town about 30 miles north-west of Melbourne, where she took these pictures.

Miss Craw reports that the town lies in low hills, surrounded by farming land.

It has a wide main street too, with a tree-shaded strip in the centre.

The attractive new hotel at, Matawhero now has a new name in keeping with the district for which it caters. The title, appropriate for a hotel near the saleyards, is reminiscent of those seen on English taverns, swings in the wind on this well-designed name plate from a standard in front of the hotel.
