Scenes of the coastlines will be filmed from a motorlaunch, and will include the beautiful island of Kapiti, its fauna and flora; and the remnant of the wreck of the “City of Auckland,” at the mouth of the Otaki River.

Fertile farm lands of the district showing choice herds of dairy cattle, and other most interesting and educational scenes, picturing the best of cattle, sheep, etc., will be featured. The lovely lakes, mountains, and the spectacular sunsets, for which this district is famous, are also listed for inclusion.
