GISBORNE - POSSUM OBSERVATORY
 

Gisborne is a sleepy little city (pop. 32,000) on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island (178* 40' E, 38* 02' S). Blessed with hot dry summers and cool frosty winters it is an ideal horticultural fruit bowl - in addition to being a great place to check out the night sky. Long white deserted beaches stand in contrast to the vivid blue of the South Pacific Ocean which produce consistently pounding swells to make Gisborne the surfing Mecca of New Zealand.
