Legacy - 2006 TNL D'Urville Island

Nestled in the Marlborough Sounds, D’Urville Island is disconnected from the rest of the South Island by French Pass.

The stations and farms on D’Urville rely heavily on the barge which allows trucks to cross this notorious stretch of water bringing with them super phosphate and lime.

This story was shot in 2006, when TNL bought in a fleet of trucks to service the island and we will re-visit this story with an update later in 2022 shot quite recently.
