The first city in the world to see the sun each day

Gisborne is has a population of 43,971 according to the 2001 census and some of New Zealand's best beaches, native bush walks not to mention some of the countries best vineyards. The region is New Zealand's most easterly city hence the phrase Eastland which has emerged in recent years.

Property is not expensive in Gisborne but employment can be a little more difficult to gain. The agricultural sector however is reasonably strong in this area due to its horticultural focus and motor industry employment tends to revolve around the farming and forestry sectors. Roles for parts personnel and sales people however may prove difficult to secure.

The climate is excellent with Gisborne enjoying some of the highest sunshine hours in NZ with warm summers and mild winters.
