Incorrig-a-bull Bulls

Published: Aug. 30, 2011, 5:01 a.m.

The small town of Bulls is known for its punning signs, which proclaim the medical centre to be 'cure-a-bull' and the museum 'memor-a-bull'. Bulls is named after James Bull, who built an inn at nearby Scotts Ferry on the Rangitīkei River estuary. He later set up a store and timber mill around which the town of Bulls grew.
