New Zealand Information
New Zealand is a temperate to
sub-tropical island nation in the South
Pacific Ocean.
A former British colony, the majority
of the population is of European descent,
with a sizeable indigenous Maori minority
and smaller minorities of various Polynesian
and other groups.
A modern but sparsely populated country,
it boasts natural beauty and a wide
range of outdoor and adventure activities.
New Zealand consists of two main islands
and a number of smaller ones.
-
North Island
Warm, with scenery ranging from sandy
beaches, through rolling farmland
and forests to active volcanic peaks.
-
South Island
Spectacular mountains and fjords,
large beech forests, beautiful beaches.
-
Stewart Island
heavily forested, a wilderness paradise
for trampers with wonderful bird song.
Only place to a see a sun-bathing
(feathered) kiwi on Masons Beach!
-
-
Sub-Antarctic Islands
Very difficult to get to unless
you're on a scientific expedition
or deep sea fishing vessel
