The Penny Divers of Whakarewarewa.

ROTORUA, N.Z. MOVIETONE NEWS
Penny Divers from Whakarewarewa dive from the Puarenga Bridge into the stream to retrieve coins thrown in by tourists. The warm stream enables this tourist attraction to continue throughout the year, if the children are willing.
(Commentary) "Wildly, gamely, they scramble for the pennies of the Pākehā. Pennies from Heaven.”
