because in 1964 all the sheep were being killed by the troops in America and there were hardly any left for the fests. in 1994 there were no sheep they were extinct and suddenly in new Zea-land there was sheep in a farm and they were very old so the farmer made a cure for it and then finally the life of sheep began in 1994 in new zealand that's why its a new zealand icon

The 1992 to 2000 New Zealand $50 note features Sir Apirana Ngata (politician) on the front. The reverse features the Blue Wattled Crow or Kokako (Calaeas cinerea), a view of Pureora Forest, the Supplejack or Kareao (Ripogonum scandens) and the Sky-blue mushroom (Entoloma hochstetteri).

The kea is a bird, and birds reproduce by laying eggs.

The two most obvious examples are that English is spoken in New Zealand and that England's monarchs appear on pieces of New Zealand's currency. From my visit to New Zealand a few years ago I also noticed that there were many companies and brands in New Zealand that came from Great Britain.

James Cook was an explorer who was keen to map new places. He had Tasman's map so he knew where to go. Later on, around 1800 ships came here for seals and whales for their skin and oil. They hired Maori crew. By 1820 ships came to trade for timber and flax from Australia. Maori traded for guns and war broke loose. The musket wars lasted for 20 years as 1 tribe fought another. Some were wiped out. About 50,000 died.

At that time only 1000 white people lived in NZ. Missionaries tried to stop the wars. Finally, in 1840 the Treaty of Waitangi was signed and New Zealand became a British colony. Most settlers were specially selected for their good health and skills, unlike Australia, where most were petty criminals. By 1900 the population was 1 million. In 2008 it was 4.5 million. British people still migrate to New Zealand.

Taupo's elevation is 760 m above sea level.

Rural areas in New Zealand are the same as they are anywhere else; any section of the country that doesn't contain an urban centre is considered rural. This includes much of the central North Island, huge expanses of the South Island and virtually all Stewart Island.

Generally in coastal areas.

Their natural range is towards the middle and northern half of the North Island but they can now be found around most parts of the New Zealand coast as people plant them for their bright red flowers and ability to hold together eroding banks.

I live in New Zealand,and as of today, a packet of cigarettes containing 20 costs around $23.

However, it goes up by 10% every year so by 2017 it will be around $33+

Kiwi do not sing. They make a high-pitched kee-wee sound, and this is how they gained their name.

Population density is calculated by the area of land and the amount of people in that land. In New Zealand's case, the country itself is quite large, larger than the UK, and the population is quite low. For every square kilometer of area in New Zealand, an average of 16 people live there.

After Lieutenant (not yet Captain) James Cook circumnavigated New Zealand, he then continued west, until he reached the southeastern corner of mainland Australia. When he reached Australia's eastern coast, he then travelled north, charting the new territory.

Mt Tauhara is on the edge of Lake Taupo.

The Kaimanawa ranges are to the south east of the lake.

National Park is on the south side of Taupo and has the three well-known large mountains: Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe, and Tongariro. These are popular places for snow sports and hiking.

Pihanga (the beautiful female mountain of Maori mythology) lies south of Taupo, between Turangi township and Tongaririo.

(particle) A passive ending used only after verbs ending with -'o' or -'u'. Kua inumia kētia te miraka."The milk has been drunk already".

Several species of penguin make their homes on New Zealnd's islands; apart from the little blue penguin - for which there is some evidence of living in Chile - it is their only region: * Eudalyptula albosignata, the white-flippered penguin. * Eudalyptula minor, the little blue penguin. * Eudyptes pachyrhynchus, the Fiordland crested penguin. * Eudyptes robustus, the Snares penguin. * Eudyptes sclateri, the erect-crested penguin. * Megadyptes antipodes, the yellow-eyed penguin. Vagrants of several other, mainly Antarctic-based, penguins have also occassionally found their way to New Zealand, but are not counted as living there.

Nearly 10% of New Zealand gross domestic product (GDP) comes from Tourism

• Indirect and directly tourism employs nearly one in ten New Zealanders.

• Tourism expenditure was $20.1 billion for the year up to March 2007 or 18.3% of New Zealand's foreign exchange earnings.

New Zealand is actually probably one of the least populated places for land mass size anywhere in the world. With a population of about 4.3 million and a land area greater than Great Britain it means you truly can have a beach all to yourself.

The first person to discover is unsure, because we only know of the Maori who came here on 'Wakas' (canoes) but the first European we know of to set foot on New Zealand is Abel Tasman, however his ship isnt very commonly known, and i do not know it either, but he left very soon assuming that the country was just a small island in the pacific, but later on Captain James Cook landed in New Zealand and explored and mapped the coastlines, and his ship was named the 'Endeavour'

New Zealand's flora derives mainly from that of the Gondwanaland continental assembly, with other contributions from mid-Pacific.

The trees are all evergreen, gymnosperms and angiosperms both, (with two irregular exceptions). The natural forest consists of upper story tall trees, an understory of shrubs and smaller trees, and a generous distribution of ferns, mosses, and fungi.

The grasslands have a fairly wide diversity of grasses and herb fields. Most NZ flowers are fairly plain, again with a few exceptions.

Of course, there are several species found nowhere else in the world. Notable among these are a number of species with a strongly divaricating habit.

A Tui is a kind of bird. Its plural is simply Tui. A Tui is almost completely black except under its neck. A small tuft of white feathers are placed under the Tui's neck. Tui are considered intelligent, just like the parrot. They also resemble parrots because of their ability to clearly imitate humans. Watching a Tui sing, one can observe gaps in the sound when the beak is agape and throat tufts throbbing. Tui will also sing at night, especially around the full moon period. Nectar is the normal diet but fruit and insects are frequently eaten, and pollen and seeds more occasionally. Particularly popular is the New Zealand flax, whose nectar sometimes ferments, resulting in the Tui flying in a fashion that suggests that they might be drunk
