Farming on D'Urville Island

Video file

Gillian and Guy King farm on Rangitoto ki te Tonga (D’Urville Island) in the western Marlborough Sounds, shown in this 1994 video. Much of the island’s coast is very rugged, but Greville Harbour, facing Tasman Bay, where the King farm is located, has a more tranquil aspect.
