Memories of Patrick Treacy as a young doctor going to work in New Zealand in Jan 1988. The video gets the anticipation of travel to Dunedin at the other end of the earth. The feeling of Dunedin Public Hospital is got across. It shows the day that Shane Mc Gowan and the Pogues arrived in town just after their Christmas hit 'Fairytale of New York'. It details meeting new friends, new activities including powerboats, interior rail journeys and playing cricket. It shows a later time joining the New Zealand Naval Reserve. It shows the differences in cultures with the Maori tradition before eventually leaving and returning to Ireland. Music: Jon Schmidt - Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella (1997)
