Clip description

A title card with a background of campervans announces this section as ‘Stanwell Park’. From a high vantage point, the camera pans across Stanwell Park’s distinctive small beach below and the curve of the foreshore with a speckling of houses. A man is shown wearing a hat, sunglasses and smoking a cigarette off the side of the road which winds down to the coastline. A pan across a nearby road captures a local store and Mobil petrol station. The clip ends with four friends posing and waving to the camera.
