All scenes taken in the vicinity of the Wellington Public Library in Mercer Street, except the first two in Cuba Street.

A group of young children, mostly Māori, are seen on the Library Lawn watching Vargo's Circus summer show performed by theatrical group Red Mole. (See AW-1344 identifying the event they are watching.) Unless otherwise stated, all persons are unidentified. Photographs taken by Ans Westra.
