Seen at the Beach

If there were complaints that the weather was a little on the windy side at Gisborne during the Christmas-New Year holidays, they could be balanced against the unalterable fact that the total rainfall amounted to about 3.2 spots, that the sun blazed almost without interruption, and that in the cool of the evening, campers could read the news in peace and quiet. Most of the news was about bad weather elsewhere.

Many of the campers were on return visits. They expressed themselves as having come to rely on warm holiday weather at Gisborne.

Pictures taken at random show some facets of the boom time on the beaches at Waikanae and Stanley Road, and in the camps.
