Adventures in the snow and the sea feature in this 1964 edition of the National Film Unit’s long-running newsreel series. This instalment features two stories. In Mount Cook National Park, tourists flock to the Hermitage Hotel to revel in the mountain vistas, while mountaineers and cross-country skiers alike carve their paths amidst the rugged terrain. In Auckland, young boys from the Kohimarama Yacht Club are busy building tiny P-class yachts with their fathers. When summer rolls around the harbour comes alive, as the youngsters eagerly launch their hand-crafted vessels out in the water for the first time.
