  • This is a cool video and the song fits it so perfectly. I play Higher Trails and other John Hanlon songs from time to time on a Sunday night on Radio 1XX in Whakatane and the Eastern Bay Of Plenty.

  • Mate I am proud to be a New Zealander!!!

    What can i say!? Simply Brilliant!!!

  • Why is this great song not on utube?

  • Great memories... if this movie was available on DVD I'd buy it

  • Think that this is a great add for NZ and i have told many of my Oz friend about John Hanlon and they say they have never heard of him but several have checked him out and love this one the most .

    cheers All Chris

  • i love this guy i wish i could get a video of the song dam the dam said the fantail

    if you guys know of it antwhere let me know please

  • I am John Hanlon's great grandfather (not that I am name dropping here at all)

    Great song, great memories.

  • @cspace1234nz Hi,that's wonderful,I was born in NZ in 1961,so John was so cool back in the early and mid 70s.I was very sad when I heard he had moved to Aussie,and got back into advertising.I'm very glad he has got back into his music,you must be very proud.All the best.

  • Makes me proud to be his nephew!!!

  • wheres the higher trails album..hav it cant download it..help.

  • Wow, Off The Edge's Higher Trails by the brilliant John Hanlon is my New Zealand National Anthem, you are actually in that hang glider at 5000 ft as you come trucking round the bend as you listen to this inspiring song,, just fantastic!

  • Brilliant...anyone got Mouldy Sunday?

  • Omg greatest new zealand song ever.

  • Thanks for sharing, loved this when I was a 10 year old (first saw it) and still do

  • Wow i finally found this !!

    i was only 10 when this documentary came out which was great BUT it was this song that i have never forgotten.

    First time in 30 years i have heard it.

    Thanks alot.

  • Awesome would love to hear Apple Wine

  • Yeah I can't find Damn the Dam anywhere, I wish someone would post it.

  • John Hanlon's Dam the Dam has recently been posted. Search "Clutha Mata-Au - Saving a River". This awesome song will always remain an inspiring anthem for conservation in NZ.

  • so many thanks!!!

  • Great song from a great NZ artist of the 70's, and fantastic movie clip to go with it, seem to remember he had a great enviro song called Dam the Dam, love to hear that again.

  • Bloody great song, almost an anthem. The flying footage in this movie was shot on 16 mm film aparently, tricky to have those heavy cameras out on the wing of a hang glider.

  • I am John Hanlon.

  • Are you seriously John Hanlon?

    Bescause if you are - thank you.

    Please can you post "Lovely Lady" which should have won that Sunday night tv show back in the early 70's.

  • Check my NZ Playlist on my channel, I have Lovely Lady on it. Thanks to those above for Damn The Dam link and this one too. Great NZ!!

  • John Hanlon has lived in Australia since the late 70's running an advertising agency.

  • Whatever became of John Hanlon?

  • I remember this being a starting feature at the pictures, I think the film was a James Bond film with Roger Moore.

  • One of the great songs written by John Hanlon
