Scenes of visit of Pauline, Mum, Karen and Helena to Simpson’s farm, Whitianga where they witness a variety of work on the farm. After directions from a woman at the farm house, the group of four walk around the farm where they look at cows in a yard waiting to be milked, farmer working in the milking shed, cows being milked. They inspect a group of pigs and piglets wandering in the grass, being fed by the farmer. Next the four say hello to the farm dog who is excited to see them.
