How to survive in a beautiful place with a limited economy is the theme of this Islands of the Gulf episode. Presenter Elisabeth Easther recreates her mother's 1960s trip around the Hauraki Gulf, and asks local residents what they do for work. Wine, tourism and weddings (and the required flowers) help fuel the economic powerhouse of Waiheke, but adventure tourism operator Bianca Ransom offers a different take on the flash Waiheke clichés. On the more isolated Great Barrier Island, Easther meets ex-city dweller Kathy Cummings who works several small jobs, so she can live the island life. Read more on the show here.
