NZ has gone metric, so all distances and speed limits are in kilometres. The only freeways (motorways) are around the major cities such as Auckland and Wellington.

New Zealand consists of two main islands - the North Island and the South Island - and several dozen much smaller islands. The North and South Islands are the most heavily populated, although the North Island is three times as populous as the South Island. The Cook Strait, 20 km wide, separates the two islands. New Zealand has 5100 km of coastline. No place anywhere in the country is further than 130 km from the coast. Outdoor activities are a big part of New Zealand culture. Kiwis spend many a weekend camping, hiking, hunting, and mountain climbing. All the large cities are a short journey from unspoiled countryside, and New Zealands government has made a point of commissioning numerous national park projects. From surfing in the summer to skiing in the winter just a hundred kilometres away, such is the diversity of New Zealands outdoors.

The New Zealand Kiwi History & Legends splitting into pieces that include Australia and new the first Europeans arrivedin new zealand and returned were captured by Europeans for zoos, museums and http://www.kamcom.co.nz/kiwi/historylegends.htm
Extractions: Kiwi are part of a bird family called 'ratites' and are related to African ostriches, the South American rhea and Australian emus. All the ratites probably originated from Gondwanaland , the super-continent that 80 million years ago began splitting into pieces that include Australia and New Zealand. Prior to human settlement in New Zealand there may have been 12 million Kiwi. Before the coming of the Maori, the kiwi had no predators. The skins and feathers were made up into cloaks which were highly prized. The cloaks are worn at important events, such as funerals or mariages, and show that the person wearing it is a chief or other very important person. The Maori believed that the Kiwi was under special protection of the god Tane, and they called it Te manu a Tane - the bird that Tane hid.

The Bill also provides greater restrictions on the use and interaction with great apes. Research, testing or teaching involving the use of a great ape can only be approved by the Director-General of Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries who must first be satisfied that any likely benefits are not outweighed by harm to the great ape. “Animal welfare is an important strategic marketing issue and of growing importance to international trade. New Zealand’s animal welfare reputation is likely to play an increasing role in consumer perceptions and ultimately their choices of our agricultural products. Codes of welfare will be a progressive addition to the legislation, and will assist New Zealand to provide assurances to our trading partners," Mr. Luxton concluded.

Extractions: By Alphabet : Encyclopedia A-Z M Related Category: Australian And New Zealand Political Geography Melbourne, city (1991 pop. 2,761,995), capital of Victoria, SE Australia, on Port Phillip Bay at the mouth of the Yarra River. Melbourne, Australia's second largest city, is a rail and air hub and financial and commercial center. Wool and raw and processed agricultural goods are exported. The city is heavily industrialized; industries include shipbuilding and the manufacture of farm machinery, textiles, and electrical goods. Included in the Melbourne urban agglomeration are many coastal resorts. Settled in 1835, it was named (1837) for Lord Melbourne , the British prime minister. From 1901 to 1927 the city was the seat of the Australian federal government. The population, once primarily British, has changed since World War II with immigration from E and S Europe and, more recently, Asia. Melbourne has campuses of several universities, including the Univ. of Melbourne (1853), Monash Univ. (1958), and La Trobe Univ. (1964). Melbourne Technical College, the Australian Ballet School, the National Gallery of Victoria, the Melbourne Museum, and the galleries and theaters of the Victorian Arts Centre also are in the city. Melbourne is the seat of Roman Catholic and Anglican archbishops. Attractive parks, including the notable Royal Botanic Gardens and Melbourne Zoo; the bustling Queen Victoria Market; and the cultural and commercial Federation Square complex draw both tourists and residents. The Melbourne Cup horse race is run annually at Flemington Racecourse, and the city hosts a Formula One Grand Prix race. Melbourne was the site of the 1956 summer Olympic games.
