Hector Ó hEochagáin crosses the Cook Strait from Wellington to the rugged South Island, landing mere minutes from New Zealand's famous Sauvignon Blanc region. Travelling south, he visits Kiwi birds and tracks down an authentic 'West Coaster'. A scenic rail ride carries him to Christchurch, where he casts a line with fly fisherwomen, visits a tattoo artist and views the city from above in a helicopter.
