Where do I find information about Gisborne?

Level: Primary/Intermediate

 We recommend Te Ara for general historical, geographic and social information from New Zealand and this includes Gisborne and the East Coast region. Typing Gisborne in the search bar will provide some worthwhile results.

HOT TIP: We chose Te Ara because it is from a government organisation. You can tell this by their web address – they have either .org or .govt in their address. They’re also New Zealand sites, so relevant for us.

Another excellent website for New Zealand information is DigitalNZ. This website lets you search easily for New Zealand digital content and to filter your results. For example, you can type in the keyword Gisborne, and then filter for just images.

For local and current news from the Gisborne region we recommend the Gisborne Herald website.

HOT TIP: A good place to start looking is Wikipedia which has great coverage of many topics, including Gisborne, but you need to be aware that this information is contributed by lots of different people. If you are using this site, it always pays to check the information against that on other sites or in books from the library.
