"Tuesday, Wahine Day, quite a day."

 

50 Years ago the southerly met cyclone gizelle in Cook Strait and picked the Wahine up dumping it on Barrets Reef.  The rest of Wellington suffered from this storm as well.  You had to be there to get the picture, current journalists have not been able to put a complete picture of the day together, maybe they are too young to investigate well.
