Summary

[edit]
Description

10 November, 1880 Donald Sutherland, prospector and explorer, became the first Pākehā (European) to view the above waterfall, now known as Sutherland Falls. Standing at 580 metres, or 1900 feet, the falls are located in Milford Sound, or Piopiotahi, Southland.

The aerial image above shows a Cessna 180 floatplane in flight, with the falls in the background. This photo is from Archives New Zealand's National Publicity Studios collection. The National Publicity Studio was established in 1945, but its beginnings can be traced back to the establishment in 1924 of a Publicity Office - part of the Department of Internal Affairs. The emphasis of this Publicity Office was on films, photographs and booklets.

The purpose of the National Publicity Studios was to provide advice to government departments and state agencies on the provision of photographic, art, and display services and in particular to assist in the production of publicity material aimed at conveying a favourable image of New Zealand.
