In this 1995 episode of Heartland, Kerre Woodham visits the bayside village of Devonport on Auckland's North Shore. The Naval Base is a big focus of her trip, but she also enjoys the sports, music, beaches and tourist activities of the town. It is an unusual episode of Heartland, in that Woodham returns every month between August and December to experience the different seasons. A running theme amongst the interviews is the changing culture of the village, particularly the booming wealth and tourism  or as one conversation puts it, the demographic progression from "old hippies" towards "yuppies".
