  • thank u so much this footage is absolutely amazing..best footage ive seen in the 40s!

  • New Zealand in the '50s..probably the closest thing to Paradise. It's still incredibly beautiful but, sadly, has changed so much, like most western countries

  • Aotearoa I miss you!

  • We can watch all that which was once being watched by camera man and here I come to know about time travel machine. Its not the 40s but the early 50s. On 06:50 the catching date on that fish is so visible and it says "10-1-52".

  • It was wonderful before open border invasion of savages.

  • Turn off the commentary and you could be watching a travelogue of San Diego, California circa 1940's, complete with eucalyptus trees, beaches and sword fishing.

    Thanks for posting.

  • Very good footage for the 1940's; it makes it look as if I went into a time machine and went back in time. Whenever I think of the 1950's and before, I think about black and white. I'm obviously not old enough to have experienced all this back then, lol.

  • Nz Frenzy guidebook will really show you where to go in Northland now!!

  • I was in New Zealand Oct 16-29,2009 and it was a wonderful trip. It still looks the same as in this video

  • I remember Northland like this. Parua Bay pub in particular. Still go there :)

  • I am happy to be a brazilian kiwi, 4ever.

  • Nothings changed its still the same

  • great films except for the crap at the bottom.

  • 8:10.. Coopers Beach.. DBS WAHTZ!!!! DATZ WEA I USED 2 LIVE. FROM WHATUWHIWHI 2 HIHI DOUBTLESS BAY!!!

  • i am proud to have lived in this country .

    i loved it!

  • would love to visit nz!!!!

  • Can't beat that music or narration.

  • People naked on the beach! I wanna go to NZ right now!

  • So fasinating looking at your uploads

  • Well worth watching! Coopers beach and Taipa.... wow so different!

  • Fantastic! times have changed yet so much remains the same.

  • Great vintage stuff here! I lived in Kaitaia when I was young so it's fascinating seeing the Northland region seen thru the eyes of an earlier generation - not much has changed. I also found it intriguing that I didn't spot a single Maori individual in the whole film. Anyway that was well worth the 14 mins to watch, thanks for this.
