Getaway Volume 2:
NEW ZEALAND


Originally released in 2003, this second volume of highlights from the Getaway television show focuses on New Zealand.

The Getaway team visits some stunning locations in the North and South Islands, including Te Anau, Cormandel Peninsula, Mount Cook, Rotorua, Queenstown, Milford Sound, Auckland and Napier to name a few.

There are also some action activities featured, including heli-hiking on Fox Glacier, bungee jumping and golf at some of the most scenic golf courses in the islands.

But popular or remote, the changing vistas of New Zealand steal the show, ranging from the towering snow covered peaks of the Alps to lakes, rolling green plains, rugged headlands, beaches and islands. They're all here in breathtaking colour photography.

The most outstanding highlight of the DVD is Sorrel Wilby's adventure on the world famous Milford Track, followed closely by Catriona Rowntree's self-drive exploration of Coromandel Peninsula.
