8. SOUNDBITE (English): Ian Brodie, Author of Lord of the Rings Location Guidebook:
When the first film, The Fellowship of the Ring, came out, all of a sudden one of the major actors in the films was New Zealand, and immediately people wanted to come and visit those places. It peaked immediately after The Return of the King, and it's levelled off I guess over about the last five years. But it's very hard to put a number on, not many surveys are done, but in my estimation it's about NZD $135 million per annum ($103.3 USD) going into the New Zealand economy, as the result of visitors coming to New Zealand.

10. Various of sign reading (English): 'Welcome to Hobbiton, movie set and farm tours'

11. Wide of Sue Whiting, manager of the Matamata iSite visitor centre, working at information desk
12. SOUNDBITE (English): Sue Whiting, Matamata iSite Visitor Centre:
Well Matamata has always been a little rural town, I guess probably most people have stopped for toilets and takeaways over the years, and in 2002 when we opened the tours we went from an average of visitor numbers of about 50,000 people through the door here, and it went up to in 2004 to 360,000 people (who) came into our little visitor centre. Not all of them were taking the tours, some just popped through Matamata just to have a cup of coffee, take a photograph in front of the sign, just to say that they'd been to the place where they'd made the Hobbiton part of the Lord of the Rings. So it has been dramatic for our little town, it has been tremendous.

17. SOUNDBITE (English): Henry Horn, Hobbiton Movie Tours:
It's been an amazing journey for eight years to have the honour of taking people out to the location and the mixed reaction is one that's always a reward. Because the look on their face, the excitement of those who are movie buffs, or movie fans as we call them, the enjoyment they have of walking around the location and asking a lot of questions and just being able to reach out and touch, versus those that haven't seen the movie set or haven't seen the movie but then go home and actually watch the movie because they've actually been in the locations where things have been developed for these major, mega moviebusters (blockbusters). So it's an exciting opportunity.
18. Pan from rustic gate across landscape
19. SOUNDBITE (English): Henrik Grundmann, Tourist:
It's one of the few ones (locations) where you can actually hope to feel some of the atmosphere here, because it has been kind of deconstructed, but there's still something left, it's not that you have to imagine everything, there's still some 'shire' left in here.

Fly Fishing New Zealand - Welcome to the Wellington Fish & Game Region!
A wee promo clip I put together for Wellington Fish & Game, showcasing some of the wonderful fishing available in the lower North Island of New Zealand.
Whilst the majority of anglers head for the South Island, they are often neglecting these lesser known and uncrowded waters offering everything from tiny pastoral spring creeks to big sprawling back country rivers.
Anglers, Andrew Harding, Dan Thomas, Jack Kos and Peter de Boer.
Thanks for watching. Andrew

Golden Stairs Walk - Whangape Harbour to Mitimiti Beach @ Northland, New Zealand
This is definitely one of the most amazing day walks in Northland (if not one of the most iconic in NZ) - Huge fiord-like deep sound of a long narrow harbour valley cutting its way through to the pounding Tasman sea. This links to the remote and secrete northern most part of the wild Mitimiti Beach. 3 hours of walk on ridge one way from Pawarenga end of the Whangape Haroubr at low tide, and then another 1-2 hours scroll on beach towards Mitimiti to meet our most wonderful hosts Jill and Tiny (they dropped us off at Pawarenga earlier and picked up from north end of Mitimiti beach).
The name Golden Stairs Walk comes from the blaze of Kowhai flower display in the valley in Spring time - it looks like god painted the mountains with gold splashes!! The view is something you have never seen before - jaw dropping!
The best place to stay is of course at Jill and Tiny's cottage at Panguru, north Hokianga Harbour: Their place is absolutely straight from a Tourism New Zealand brochure and they are the most wonderful people you will ever meet!
PS - 4WD is considered most appropriate way of getting to the cottage as there is a ford in the middle of their driveway - a classic kiwiana that gold can't buy!!! There is a beautiful waterfall in their backyard forest (part of Warawara Forest) which takes hours of fun to explore.
