Images on the way include Mount Balloon, Mount Elliott, Routeburn Hut, and Lake Ada. There is a view of Mitre Peak, Mount Tutoko, and the Pembroke Glacier from Milford Sound. The second series relates to a camping trip to Wanganui and the Whanganui River. This includes a game of golf and visiting friends in St John's Hill.
