Synopsis

Heartland host Gary McCormick travels to the Hokianga in Northland, where he attends the annual Horeke rowing regatta. Locals compete in tug-of-war, and ironman (swimming, running and ... wood-chopping). McCormick also visits the Motuti Marae, then drives on to Panguru where he interviews local resident and Māori land march leader Dame Whina Cooper.

On a lighter note, we also see some very fine examples of the mullet hairstyle.
