Synopsis

Heartland host Gary McCormick hunkers down in the Catlins ("New Zealand the way it used to be"), the wild southern coast stretching between Invercargill and Balclutha. After watching the action at school sports day, he discovers a rural community revolving around family, church and pub. Interviewees include a Metallica-loving teenager who has just bought his second car, for cruising; and spoon collector Kitty 'Granny' Burgess. He also visits a rugged Long Point farm to check out rare yellow-eyed penguins (hoiho), who look very punk during moulting season.

hi .ara - we're sorry if you did encounter faults with the production, however note that we only have 2 excerpts from this programme, not the entire episode.
If you'd like to see the whole thing, then series of Heartland are available to buy from Whitcoulls, Borders or major DVD outlets throughout NZ.
