The Blue Heeler is so named for its blue-grey colour, and its ability to herd cattle by nipping at the heels of cattle. It is popular in both Australia and New Zealand, as it is intelligent, hard-working and very effective in its job.

Why are there so many fault lines in New Zealand?
New Zealand straddles two tectonic plates. The Pacific Plate subducts below the Australian Plate in the North, and the Australian Plate subducts below the pacific Plate in the South.The bit in between is caught between these two opposite forces, and thus the Southern Alps have risen.[It is possible that the Alpine fault in the south is an extension of a transcurrent fault of the Pacific's mid-ocean ridge, and becomes the Kermadec trench in the north beyond New Zealand, and then the Tonga trench further on again.]But back to the question, it is the stress between these two opposed subductions that is the ultimate cause of the multiplicity of faults in NZ's landscape.
