Scenes include both North Island and South Island views, and all places named are listed above, as are businesses, ships and buildings, where possible.

A number of views show farming activities, including a scene near Cheviot of about 20,000 sheep being drafted for shearing; and one of a wagon laden with wool bales being hauled by a team of bullocks.
