Pacific Viewpoint - Guide Bubbles interview

Television (Excerpts) – 1979

That old man really put me on the right step because when I realised who he was afterwards, it gave me that much more confidence that I was able to satisfy a person like him.
– Guide Bubbles, on realising that she'd been hosting Qantas airlines founder Sir Hudson Fysh
If you wanted to know anything about Whakarewarewa — you'd ask Bubbles. If you wanted to host dignitaries in Rotorua — you'd ask Bubbles. If you wanted advice on Māori protocol, flax weaving or kapa haka — you'd ask Bubbles. But if you wanted to learn to drive or cook Bubbles would be your last port of call.
– Writer Kelly Makiha pays tribute to Guide Bubbles, The Rotorua Daily Post, 2 July 2019
