New Zealand

I saw Mount Everest mentioned in another post.
New Zealand is a land of 'firsts'.
The first person to climb to the top of Mt Everst was from New Zealand, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing a local shirpa.
It was the first country to give women the right to vote.
It has the first city to see the sun in the world.
I'll look for more...
What other things do you know about New Zealand?
(I sigh deeply as I remember my home country)

Kiri te Kanawa is a great opera singer. Have you heard of Crowded house? The name you might not recognise but the music I bet you have.

Hi Mystical Angel,
Your information is fairly accurate. You are right that it is a very agricultural country with the main business being cattle and sheep and their derivitives such as dairy products. Milk, cheese, yoghurt, meat as well as fruit are our big industries with tourism being another sector growing an incredible amount. There are a lot of unspoilt beautiful scenic areas throughout
