- Description
Shows a man from the Ministry of Works, talking to a workman in front of an enormous tractor (a Euclid), which has been working on the 'Needmore power project', bulldozing earth for a dam. Refers to the rivalry between New Zealand's North and South Islands, the marvels of Euclid earthmoving machines and the controversial building of the Manapouri Power Station. Environmental protests by the Save Manapouri Campaign, against the planned raising of lake levels to feed the station, galvanised New Zealanders and were one of the foundations of the New Zealand environmental movement.
