PICTURESQUE GLIMPSES OF A RISING EAST COAST PORT. Gisborne lies about 86 miles north-east of the capital centre of Hawke’s Bay, and is the port of a splendid pastoral country, known as Poverty Bay. With the completion of the East Coast Railway, now under construction, huge areas of virgin country will be opened up, and bring to the picturesque and sunny East Coast town an advance in prosperity and population, which will greatly enhance its commercial importance. The scenes shown above are:-1. Gisborne from Kaiti Hill. 2. The Waimata River, Gisborne. 3 and 4. Picturesque aspects of the river outside the township. 5. Off the Western Grove—a peaceful evening. 6. The bridge leading to the town. 7. A view of the Waimata from the Recreation Grounds.
