Presented by Elisabeth Easther, Islands of the Gulf is a heartwarming journey around the Hauraki Gulf, revisiting Elisabeth's mother's incredible groundbreaking TV series from the early 1960s. We tried to match many scenes from the 1960s to visually compare the effects of five decades, and spent a lot of research time finding people (or their descendants) who appeared in the original series.
