Gisborne

City and port on the east coast of North Island, New Zealand, at the confluence of the Taruheru and Waimata rivers at the northern end of Poverty Bay; population (2001 est) 44,000. It exports dairy products, wool, and meat, and is a holiday resort. Industries include food processing and the manufacture of hosiery, lime, fertilizers, and tallow.
