I suspect it was recorded on a motorbike as you can see a head of hair below the camera (depending on which direction you move). I was amazed to see that. I was locating the island after reading about this 75 year old woman: nzherald.co.nz

(It just hadn't occurred to me to think about what they were doing with their correspondence; at least they've had the insight not to dump much of it on me.)
