  1. The road from East to West Coast

  2. Welcome to the land of Aotearoa (New Zealand) Kiwi is the nickname used internationally for people from New Zealand, as well as being a relatively common self-reference. The name derives from the kiwi, a flightless bird, which is native to, and the national symbol of, New Zealand. The usage is not offensive, being treated with pride and endearment as a uniquely recognizable term for the people of New Zealand

  3. Tasman Sea The journey from the east to the west coast through Arthur's Pass is spectacular by road, or rail, and the Transalpine train, which makes the journey across and back each day, has an open-air viewing carriage to make the most of the views

  4. About 10,000 houses and nearly 1,000 commercial buildings will have to be demolished as a result of the powerful earthquake who slammed New Zealand's city of Christchurch on 22.02.2011, killing at least 65 people

  5. There are over 70 million sheep in New Zealand and they are raised throughout the entire country. Sheep are raised for both their wool and also for their meat. There are 23 kinds of sheep that are raised in New Zealand and each one has a different kind of wool.

  7. Sited beside the Rakaia Gorge and in the lee of the towering Mt Hutt mountain range, Terrace Downs is nested at the base of Mt Hutt in the Canterbury foothills, an hour out of Christchurch and the heart of New Zealand's South Island high country. Each of the Terrace Villas offer commanding views of the golf course and mountains beyond

  8. Terrace Downs, Rakaia Gorge, Mt Hutt

  9. From Terrace Downs to Darfield

  10. There are 23 kinds of sheep that are raised in New Zealand and each one has a different kind of wool. For example, the Merino sheep makes very fine and soft wool and the Coopworth sheep makes very coarse wool. The very coarse wool is used to make blankets and carpets while the soft wool is used to make soft and expensive sweaters Merino sheep Drysdale ram

  11. The Merino wool is now combined with the fur from the possum(which does not look like an American possum) to make a very soft and very warm yarn.

  12. New Zealand Huntaway Ted Dog To make a living, a sheep farmer must have between 3,000 and 4,000 sheep on his farm

  13. Darfield Railway station Darfield, located 35 kilometres west from the outskirts of Christchurch, New Zealand on State Highway 73 (The great Alpine highway) is the main town between Christchurch and the West Coast. Its population (2001 census) is 1,362. The town is on the Midland railway line, route of the famous TranzAlpine train service. It is often called "The township under the Nor'west arch", in reference to a characteristic weather phenomenon, which often creates an arch of cloud in an otherwise clear sky to the west of the township. This is caused by the condensation of water particles channeled upwards over the Southern Alps. Ilex. Holly berries
