From: Heath, Eric Walmsley 1923- :[27 volumes of newspaper clippings and bromide books] 1965-1992.
Reference: E-531-q-160
Description: It is the middle of the night and the scene is a bedroom with a couple in bed. The woman has woken saying that she has just had a horrible dream that her husband wasn't satisfied with stealing a few goods from the Aratika, one of the Cook Strait ferries. Outside the window looms the Aratika which is on a trolley attached by a chain to a car. Beside the woman lies a smug-looking villainous type. On the floor is a newspaper saying that $85000 worth of property has been stolen from the Aratika. At the foot of the bed is a bag of tools, including a crow-bar. The reference is to the pilfering of goods and property by railway and wharf workers that was occuring around 1978. Some of those responsible found themselves in jail. Quantity: 1 newspaper clipping. Physical Description: Newspaper clipping 136 x 184 mm.

Date: 1983
From: Heath, Eric Walmsley 1923- :[27 volumes of newspaper clippings and bromide books] 1965-1992.
Reference: E-536-q-067-1
Description: The scene shows an Australian standing on a silhouette of a map of Australia and clutching the America's Cup; he looks desperate and fearful and has sweat pouring off his face. Standing on a silhouette map of New Zealand is a New Zealander who holds a toy yacht with a kiwi on its sail behind his back; he is eying the cup covetously and has a wicked grin on his face. Refers to the fact that in 1983 Australia won the cup from the Americans in the 25th challenge and New Zealand was beginning to look like a serious threat because of her strong yachting tradition and series of successes. Quantity: 1 Newspaper clipping. Physical Description: Newspaper clipping 136 x 184 mm
