In this Pictorial Parade from 1965, three different regions of New Zealand — and three vastly different activities — are showcased. Firstly, the magazine-style newsreel visits the Canterbury high country, where members of Parliament admire efforts to restore native bush by deer culling. Then in Palmerston North, the fifth World Jersey Conference showcases a fine selection of Jersey cows. Finally, jazz dancing (inspired by the rhythms of the city), takes centre stage. A visit to a high school dance championship transitions into a dramatic performance from Kelston Girls' High School, in true Pictorial Parade style.
