This is a post about New Zealand,exsisting of two large islands(North island and South island) and numerous smaller islands most notably Stewart Island/Rakiura and the Chatham Islands. which are situated in the south-western Pacific Ocean. The indigenous Māori named New Zealand Aotearoa, commonly translated as The Land of the Long White Cloud. The Realm of New Zealand also includes the Cook Islands and Niue (self-governing but in free association).
New Zealand is notable for its geographic isolation, situated about 2000 km (1250 miles) southeast of Australia across the Tasman Sea, and its closest neighbours to the north are New Caledonia, Fiji and Tonga.
The population of New Zealand mainly consists of European descent. But there are other cultures including the Maori’s, the Asian and non-Maori Polynesians which are also significant minorities, especially in the urban areas.

It’s been a fine half an hour’s browse and I started in Invercargill. But I still cannot discover where “No. 9 R.D., New River Ferry” is situated. Years ago I had a wonderful corres-pondent there but she has passed on. Can you help? Anyway I’ll continue with my browse. Nice to have a pause and communicate! I was born in Southampton.
