Gisborne, New Zealand
Gisborne is the hub of an isolated region in the north-east of New Zealand’s North Island, sustaining three quarters of the region’s population of 46,000 – many of them Maori. Gisborne was named after the crew member who first spotted it from James Cook's Endeavour. A memorial to Cook marks the point where he stepped ashore in 1769.
Poverty Bay
Sometimes known as the City of Rivers, Gisborne sits in the confluence of three waterways at the north end of Poverty Bay, overlooked by white cliffs. A popular leisure spot, it is built around a harbour dotted with fishing vessels and ships loading logs for export.
