Our Cover

The Cook Islands made a colourful splash in Sydney in April, when members of the Cook Islands National Theatre staged Islands dances. Later the group went on tour of New South Wales country towns, and Brisbane. Air New Zealand, which helped the islanders get to Australia, captured them for our cover picture in a little “off duty" display. For a story and more pictures, see p. 53.
