Proud to have lived in Motu, 1956-65. Etched in my memory. 2 hour trip to Gisborne if the road was open. 30 odd families , one shop/post office/petrol station, one church, one School and the social hall. In the early 1900's there were 7 pubs, and a thriving timber industry. The only pub left is still in Matawai. Some how was carted there whole.
