The hot temperatures have come at the perfect time as children go into the second week of the school holidays. Rangi Kaa, Riann and Savanna Galloway and Te Aomihia Kaa made the most of it at Midway Beach yesterday. It was like a summer’s day in Gisborne with a high of 27.4 degrees recorded at the NIWA station at 6pm. Met Service meteorologist Andy Best said the warm temperatures were caused by tropical air moving down from the north with a ridge of high pressure over the top of the North Island and northwesterly winds. The good weather will continue and Gisborne could expect a high of 26 today. But don’t put away your winter woollies yet as a cold front is moving up the South Island bringing strong southerlies. It moves into Wellington tonight bringing a period of rain. By tomorrow evening the cold front will be felt in Gisborne, with scattered rain and temperatures dropping to 14 degrees on Thursday and southerlies continuing. Picture by Liam Clayton

Residents were woken by loud sirens to see the village already ablaze. They grabbed what they could and fled — some tooting their car horns as they drove to make sure everyone was awake. The fire was contained by midday yesterday, and residents, many visibly tired and sleep-deprived, were allowed to board three buses and taken on a tour of what remains of Lake Ohau village. Inside the village, 46 homes had been destroyed. Many properties were just a concrete foundation covered in a tangled mess of corrugated iron. Some still had charred chimneys standing. Burnt out cars sat in some driveways — one resident said they looked like a “molotov cocktail had been thrown” at them. Despite the widespread destruction, some homes were spared. Fire and Emergency Incident Controller, Graeme Still, said that was due to many different factors, including how embers flew through the air, the construction of the homes, and the fuel around them.

FULL SWING POVERTY Bay’s Neal Ebbett winds up as a Tauranga association player closes in during a masters men’s hockey game on the Property Brokers Turf at Harry Barker Reserve on Saturday. Above, Poverty Bay masters women’s player Kate Gilmore is confronted by a Tauranga counterpart in a women’s masters clash. The visiting teams are actually Mount Maunganui club sides — Mt Mavericks (men) and Mt Thunderbirds (women) — who were brought to Gisborne for the games by Go Hockey co-owner Brent Edwards, a regular visitor to the district. The Mavericks, who included former Black Stick Bevan Hari — a veteran of over 200 tests — beat Poverty Bay 7-1. Poverty Bay women levelled the ledger with a 6-1 victory. The visitors were well received and it is hoped to make it an annual competitive and social event, but possibly at a neutral venue.
