It’s on pages 50 – 55 and gives a great overview of the islands, the various movie locations, and all sorts of useful info on planning an LOTR themed trip. The writer seems to have spent quite a bit of time there, doing all the tours and things herself. She even found an Orc extra and interviewed him about his experience.

TVNZ’s Holmes programme had a special tribute to Cameron Duncan, the inspirational 17 year old film maker who lost out in his battle with cancer earlier today. It was the most emotional story I have ever seen. There was a tribute from Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh who knew Cameron and had been keeping an eye on his career. I can’t remember the entire letter but two lines stood out – “We were proud to call Cameron Duncan our friend.” and “He would have grown up to become one of the great New Zealand Filmmakers.”[More] “
Cameron Duncan wrote and directed the ad for the Organ Donor Awareness Foundation. This is the charity that our Return of the Ringers party is raising money for. Cameron Duncan was an extraordinary young man and his loss is a loss for us all.
