+stellarscapes Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Lamb is naturally one of the most popular traditional dishes. Often cooked as a juicy roast with garlic and rosemary and served slightly pink with a tangy mint sauce, lamb is generally on the menu of almost every restaurant in the country. Hogget, or one-year-old lamb, is more tasty than younger lamb but not as strong as mutton. Beef is excellent and reasonably priced in restaurants--and nothing beats sizzling, thick juicy steaks and sausages, crisp salads, chilled wine or beer, good company, and cicadas singing from the trees at a traditional New Zealand "barby." Chicken or "chook" is another favorite. Sausages or "bangers" come in all shapes and sizes and are most frequently served battered and deep-fried at takeaways. New Zealanders are also partial to farm-raised or "home-grown" venison (expensive unless bought patty-form in a venison burger), veal, duck and pheasant (some of the sporting lodge restaurants specialize in game), and wild pork. If you like experimenting with different tastes, try muttonbird—it's a Maori delicacy that tastes like fish-flavored chicken!
+PengoFamily Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 New Zealand Kina Pie (Shellfish Pie) Serves 4 * 2 c Fresh Kina tongue * 2 Rashers Bacon * 1 c Breadcrumbs Kina or sea eggs are a staple Maori food for those fortunate enough to live close to the sea. Kina is found at low tide in rock crevices and under ledges of rock. They should only be gathered however in summer when they are sweet. Maori lore says it is best for them to be gathered at low tide on the first, second and third days after a full moon. When opened the shell will be found to contain a mass of fine grit and shell, a purple membrane and five tongues which are red. The tongues should be scraped from the shell with a spoon taking care not to include any membrane or grit. 1. Place alternate layers of kina and breadcrumbs, into a buttered Pie dish finishing with a layer of breadcrumbs. 2. Cover with chopped bacon. 3. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes until the crumbs and bacon are crisp and the tongues are cooked. from: Kiwi Cookbook by Alan Armstrong Seven Seas Publishing Pty, 1968

+stellarscapes Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 I have a feeling that we're getting closer to the "NUMBER", but we need more people to post.... Here's another fact... In 1917, Sir Henry Wigram forms the first New Zealand commercial airline, the Canterbury Aviation Company.
+stellarscapes Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 I know I'm close (or at least I have an idea what the number might be, so here goes, I'll start posting)... Puysegur Point is located in the far southwest of the South Island of New Zealand. It lies within Fiordland National Park on the southern head of Preservation Inlet. It lies 145 kilometres west-northwest of Invercargill. It is the site of a lighthouse station now automated but for many years the home of 3 married permanent lighthouse keepers. The original wooden lighthouse was burnt down in 1943 by a man who had recently left a psychiatric hospital and made his way down to Cole Island across the fjord from the lighthouse. He decided the light was a deliberate plot to keep him awake at night by shining in his window so took matters into his own hands. He held all the keepers hostage with a rifle, smashed the radio telephone and set fire to the lighthouse. The concrete lighthouse which replaced it has now in turn been replaced by two automated beacons.
+stellarscapes Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 The Hollyford Track is one of New Zealand's best known tramping tracks. Located at the northern edge of Fiordland, in the southwestern South Island, it is unusual among Fiordland's major tracks in that it is largely flat and accessible year-round. The track is 56 kilometres in length, and takes four days to walk one way. It runs roughly south-north, its southern end being accessible by road 15 kilometres to the east of the Homer Tunnel, and its northern end being at the Tasman Sea coast at Martins Bay, north of Milford Sound. (Remember, in New Zealand, tramping is hiking)
+stellarscapes Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Kingston is a small town at the southernmost end of Lake Wakatipu in New Zealand's South Island. It is 40 kilometres south of Queenstown by a road which winds between the lake to the west and The Remarkables mountains to the east. It is 70 kilometres north of Lumsden, and close to the headwaters of the Mataura River. It is also the most inland town in New Zealand.
+stellarscapes Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 The Solander Islands are a small chain of uninhabited volcanic islets lying at 46°34′S, 166°53′E, close to the western end of the Foveaux Strait in southern New Zealand. The islands are remnants of an isolated extinct Pleistocene volcano with andesite rocks one to two million years old. They lie on a bank with depths less than 100 m, but are separated from the continental shelf around Foveaux Strait by a 4 km narrow trough with depths in excess of 200 m (at least 237 m). Therefore, the islands are included in the New Zealand Outlying Islands, despite their proximity to the mainland. The Solander Islands are the only New Zealand volcanic land features related to the subduction of the Australian Plate beneath the Pacific Plate

+Stellar Jr. Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 This is really a neat looking waterfall Sutherland Falls, located on the South Island, off the famous Milford Track, at 580 metres (1,904 feet) is listed as the highest waterfall in New Zealand. This has recently been hotly disputed, with an unofficial listing for Browne Falls, at 619 metres (2031 feet).

+Stellar Jr. Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 The Titi or Muttonbird Islands are located in the far south of New Zealand. There are two chains, both of them simply referred to as the Muttonbird or Titi islands. The northern chain is located in Foveaux Strait, to the northeast of Stewart Island, between it and Ruapuke Island; the southern chain is located to the southwest of Stewart Island. The two chains are both uninhabited, and are named for the traditional harvesting of the Sooty Shearwater by Māori. These birds are also known as "Muttonbirds" due to their vaguely mutton-like taste. In May 2006, the northeastern chain was the scene of tragedy when a fishing boat capsized with the loss of six lives, close to Womens Island.

+stellarscapes Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 The Kakapo is a species of nocturnal parrot, endemic to New Zealand. It is notable for being the world's only flightless parrot, the heaviest parrot, and the only parrot to have a lek breeding system. All surviving Kakapo are kept on two predator-free islands, Chalky Island in south-west Fiordland and Codfish Island/Whenuahou near Stewart Island/Rakiura, where they are closely monitored.

+stellarscapes Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) With a mean annual rainfall of 6813 mm on 182 days a year, a high level even for the West Coast, Milford Sound is known as the wettest place in New Zealand and one of the wettest in the world. Milford Sound runs 15 kilometres inland from the Tasman Sea and is surrounded by sheer rock faces that rise 1200 metres or more on either side. Lush rain forests cling precariously to these cliffs, while seals, penguins, and dolphins frequent the waters. Milford Sound, also known as Piopiotahi in Maori, is located in the south west of New Zealand's South Island. Although called Milford Sound, it is more accurately classified as a fjord.

+stellarscapes Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Stonehenge Aotearoa, a full-scale working adaptation of Stonehenge, is intended to inspire New Zealanders to explore and experience for themselves how technologies of ancient times were used, and still can be used, to give practical and detailed information on the seasons, time and navigation. Situated in the Wairarapa countryside, a short distance from Wellington, Stonehenge Aotearoa is a window into the past where the visitor can rediscover the knowledge of their ancestors. It incorporates ancient Egyptian, Babylonian and Celtic astronomy, Polynesian navigation, and Maori starlore.
+stellarscapes Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Tasman Empire Airways Limited (TEAL) was renamed Air New Zealand in 1965.

+stellarscapes Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 In April/May 2005, The New Zealand American Submarine Ring of Fire 2005 (NZASRoF'05) Expedition explored active submarine volcanoes in the Kermadec Arc, located north of New Zealand, with a pair of manned submersibles. This is a subduction zone where tectonic plates converge and a chain of restless volcanoes is formed along the boundary. The dive sites chosen were at volcanoes that showed evidence of having vigorous seafloor hot springs. This evidence comes from previous New Zealand / American expeditions to the area that mapped the seafloor and surveyed the ocean above each volcano for signs of hydrothermal plumes. Seafloor hot springs are dynamic environments where heat and chemicals from inside volcanoes are vented into the ocean and support unique biological communities. Most of the dive sites have never been visited before and so the potential for exciting discoveries was high.
+stellarscapes Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Coca-Cola was introduced into New Zealand in 1939. Local production began in 1944 and in 1953 the Coca-Cola licence was acquired by Innes Industries and 10 years later, with three other companies, it become part of the Oasis Group of Companies. In December 1989 CCA purchased The Coca-Cola Company's 50% interest in Oasis Industries. Six months later CCA announced the acquisition of Coca-Cola Bottlers Ltd, giving it 100% ownership of Oasis Industries. The Oasis operation was then merged with the licence in Wellington to develop a single CCA operation in New Zealand.
+stellarscapes Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) Slope Point is the southernmost point of the South Island of New Zealand. Located at 46°40′40″S, 169°0′11″E, Slope Point lies just south of the small settlements of Waikawa and Haldane, near the southwestern edge of the Catlins and Toetoes Bay. It is 70 km (40 mi) east of Invercargill. The land around Slope Point is used for sheep farming; there are no houses anywhere nearby. Eroded cliffs drop down to the sea below. An AA signpost there shows the distance to the Equator and the South Pole, and a small solar-powered lighthouse stands on farmland. There is no road to Slope Point; it must be reached by a 20 minute walk following dilapidated yellow markers. There is no public access during the lambing season (September – October).
