Topsy-Turvy. Most unusual happening of the month was the series of tidal surges which struck Gisborne following the earthquakes in Chile. For more than 24 hours, the tides were topsy-turvy, rising higher and falling lower than ever before, in cycles of only half-an-hour or so. This picture, by Eastland Photographers, shows the "Ski-Lane" notice from the Turanganui River, which finished up on the beach outside the pavilion.
