NATIONAL FILM UNIT
"T) OUND UP ON MOLESWORTH," depicting the big cattle round-up that took place in Marlborough recently, is the sole item in the Weekly Review from the National Film Unit released on November 8. It is an extraordinary picture, many of the scenes being taken from the air and showing the wild, mountainous country of the Molesworth and Tarndale Stations. These lands, once sheep pastures, suffered badly from erosion caused by pests, but under the Lands and Survey Department are now undergoing rejuvenation, the rabbits and deer having been destroyed. The whole mustering routine is shown in the film from the dawn start to the round-up and branding. The use of an aeroplane to spot cattle mobs in isolated gullies which have eluded the musterers, saves days of hard riding. Finally, the valuable cattle are brought from their winter to their summer pastures, and another round-up is ended.
