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.

vast
open

with
stunning

landscapes,
gorgeous
beaches,
often
spectacular
geothermal
and
volcanic
activity,
a
temperate
climate
and
fascinating
animal
and
plant
life,
and
it
is
no
surprise
that
New
Zealand’s
pure
natural
environment
is
so
attractive
to
visitors
from
other
countries.
And
the
great
advantage
of
New
Zealand
is
there
are
many
different
landscapes,
environments,
and
ecosystems
so
close
to
each
other.
New
Zealand
has
a
unique
and
dynamic
culture.
The
culture
of
its
indigenous
Maori
people
affects
the

and
even
the

of
all
New

Their
place
in
the
