New
Zealand - is the youngest country on
earth - the last major landmass to be discovered.
It has a rich and fascinating history, reflecting
both our Maori and European heritage. Amazing
Maori historic sites and taonga (treasures),
some dating back almost a thousand years, are
a contrast to many beautiful colonial buildings.
A walk around any New Zealand city today shows
what a culturally diverse and fascinating country
we have become.
WHAT
IS A KIWI!
The
kiwi, New Zealand's national emblem, is a flightless
bird with a long, slender bill which it uses
to pull worms and insects out of the ground.
The kiwi is found only in New Zealand, it is
active at night in the wilderness areas of the
country. The kiwi bird was named for the sound
of its chirp - kiwi, kiwi, kiwi!
