In 1844, Frederick Weld guided a flock of sheep along the coastal route from Wellington to the grasslands of Wairarapa. This journey played a pivotal role in the development of the pastoral industry in the Wellington region, laying the groundwork for its economic growth. The trek was later recreated for the 1970s television series *Landmarks*, with this clip tracing the path through the eastern bays to Pencarrow.
