Cattle on the Cascade Station in South Westland are rounded up twice yearly and taken on an arduous three weeks drive up the coast to the sale-yards at Wataroa. This film provides a record of the journey which traverses some of New Zealand’s finest forest, mountain, lake, river, and alpine scenery.
