In the crisp winter of 1970s Ōtākou, a graceful duo glides across an outdoor rink in Alexandra, their routine perfectly timed against the backdrop of snow-dusted hills and a wide open sky, competing in the NZ Ice Skating Championships. Parked along the edge of the rink, vintage cars fill the carpark, their chrome glinting faintly in the cold air, while onlookers cheer, bundled up in true classic Kiwi fashion. This mid-century moment—frozen in time through black and white photography—captures not just ice skating in NZ, but the charm of kiwiana, reflected in historic, retro, and vintage prints of New Zealand photography, where partners on the ice etched their names into sports history with every elegant turn.
