Meet New Zealand's most remote family who lives 100km from the nearest shop, and at 68 years old, the Taranaki grandmother who is a 4th Dan black belt in Taekwondo. Former oil field worker Mike is a collector of classic Mustang cars, yet wheelchair-bound Shirley prefers her collection of more than 2,000 horse ornaments. Local celebrities, The Patea Maori Club, also appear and talk about "Poi E," the song that put them on the map. The series also covers conservation in New Zealand, with a couple who built their own house, complete with a grass roof in central Otago. Self-confessed tree-hugger Bob created his own forest while another family built their own power station. And finally, take a tour with a smaller island's sole policeman, and meet the Air Chathams' chief pilot who owns a 1950s flight simulator the size of a house. On the even more remote Pitt Island, visit the country's most isolated school and a 7th generation farming family, the Gregory-Hunts, who raised eleven children there.
