The country geographically comprises two main landmasses—the North Island , and the South Island and around 600 smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 2,000 kilometres east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long period of isolation, New Zealand developed a distinct biodiversity of animal, fungal, and plant life. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland.]]> 2019-03-06 23:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/0593022/emajqsop1kwa/wish/338656052 0593022 https://padlet.com/0593022/emajqsop1kwa/wish/338660652 -Queenstown

Maori Hang:
This involves meat and vegetables slow-cooked in an underground oven.
-2. Crayfish:
Crayfish, also known as lobster, is a Kiwi favourite mostly because it something many fishermen and divers pride on catching themselves. Known to cost NZ$80 for a full crayfish, it’s not exactly the most affordable food, but it’s definitely worth a try when the opportunity presents itself! Then you’ll understand why Kiwis go cray for crayfish!
-3. Hokey Pokey Ice Cream:
Kiwis prefer Hokey Pokey ice cream (that’s caramelised honeycomb) over pretty much anything. If there’s only one ice cream flavour you’re going to try in New Zealand, make it Hokey Pokey!
-4. Kina:
Ok, New Zealanders love their seafood so we’ll just hop straight onto another foodie delight from the ocean. Kina is the local name for a type of sea urchin with a hard spiky outer shell and thin fleshy (and edible) insides. It has been a New Zealand delicacy for centuries!
-5. Kiwi Burger:
You’ll either think it’s weird or it’s genius! What makes a “Kiwi burger” Kiwi is the fact it has beetroot and a fried egg along with your standard burger patties and whatever else between two burger buns. Don’t knock it until you try it!
-6. Pavlova:
Ask an Australian and they will swear that Oz invented the pavlova. Ask a Kiwi and they will tell you different. Either way, pavlova is a much-loved dessert in New Zealand made with meringue, whipped cream and fruit. Try making some yourself for Christmas in New Zealand!]]> 2019-03-07 00:35:05 UTC https://padlet.com/0593022/emajqsop1kwa/wish/338667115 0593022 https://padlet.com/0593022/emajqsop1kwa/wish/338671181 Sport in New Zealand largely reflects its British colonial heritage, with some of the most popular sportsbeing rugby union, rugby league, cricket, football (soccer), basketball and netball which are primarily played in Commonwealth countries.New Zealand is most famous for it's Rugby team.]]> 2019-03-07 00:57:07 UTC https://padlet.com/0593022/emajqsop1kwa/wish/338671181 0593022 https://padlet.com/0593022/emajqsop1kwa/wish/338672526 Some famous people from New Zealand are Keith Urban, Russel Crowe, Anna Paquin, Peter Jackson, Karl Urban, and Peter Theil.]]> 2019-03-07 01:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/0593022/emajqsop1kwa/wish/338672526 0593022 https://padlet.com/0593022/emajqsop1kwa/wish/338815957 Modern New Zealanders, mostly urbanresidents.

Several senior ministers (usually around 20) constitute a collective decision-making body known as the Cabinet, which is led by the Prime Minister (currently Jacinda Ardern). A few more ministers (usually junior or supporting) are part of the Executive Council but outside Cabinet. Most ministers have a portfolio of specific responsibilities such as departments or policy areas, although ministers without portfolio are sometimes appointed. ]]> 2019-03-08 14:59:07 UTC https://padlet.com/0593022/emajqsop1kwa/wish/339325663 0593022 https://padlet.com/0593022/emajqsop1kwa/wish/340937298 -Lake Taupo
