Filming Cook's Landing Place

In the course of a lightning trip to New Zealand, a two-man team of British television photographers spent two days in the Gisborne-East Coast area recording on film for the B.B.C., places of interest visited by Captain James Cook on his voyage of discovery in 1769.

Places visited by the cameramen included Cook's Cove, Anaura Bay, Young Nick's Head, and of course, Cook's first landing place at Kaiti Beach.

Pictured in front of the memorial at Kaiti Beach are, from left: Messrs Peter Dearden (cameraman), Peter Gordon (formerly of Gisborne) of the overseas section of N.Z. Publicity Department; W. H. Way (president of Gisborne Committee of the Historic Places Trust), David Bean (scriptwriter and novelist), and Mrs Anne McKay (Gisborne TV representative).
