Short Film (Full Length) – 1966
19 Jun 2014 - 02.09am
This film was released in 1966, but was filmed at least two years before. How do I know that? All the cars have the old black on yellow number plates which were replaced in 1964 with the silver on black plates. Just an observation. Was great to see all the cars of my childhood :-)

Amazing to see after all these years. I appear in it as an 8 year old along side my mother!

What a great film. Thank you, it shows what a fantastic city Wellington is (and it's only got better over time)
