Hands holding a service sheet for “Centennial Thanksgiving Service” at the Auckland Domain. The gathered congregation in the grass. Clergy arrive carrying cross and sacraments. Ceremony includes shots of clergy and religious symbols and military officers in full regalia, on a outdoor platform addressing a crowd. Dignitaries departing.

“Thou Shalt Repay”. People walking up to the Maungakiekie Summit (One Tree Hill). A young man appears to slip and injure himself and is then carried like a sack of potatoes by his two mates to the top. At the top they realise he was faking injury and they beat him and throw him down a bank.
