Scenic Views
June 28, 2008
Wherever you travel or study in New Zealand, there’s always an opportunity to put yourself in front of a fabulous view.
Fantastic urban panoramas can be found at the top of Mount Eden and One Tree Hill in Auckland, Mount Victoria in Wellington, the top of the Port Hills in Christchurch and Flagstaff Hill in Dunedin.
Other vistas around the country can be more difficult to access, but are definitely worth the effort. These include the views from the summits of Mount Iron in Wanaka and Mount Hikurangi on East Cape.
And there are many views that don’t require any climbing at all, such as the weird boulders at Moeraki on the Otago Coast and the outrageous Pancake Rocks at Punakaiki.
Art adds another dimension to the sights you’ll encounter in New Zealand. Paddle a kayak to the rock carvings at Mine Bay in Taupo or walk the streets of Katikati, where intricate murals record the town’s history.

If you don’t have the fitness to get here under your own steam, a helicopter can land you in the mountain meadow of your choice. The icy peaks of Mt Tutoko and Mt Madeline can be seen in the distance. Region: Queenstown

Natural Phenomena
June 28, 2008
Ice ages, fault lines, volcanic zones and tectonic plate movements have all made their mark on New Zealand. Ours is a dynamic environment, sandwiched between two oceans and perched on the Pacific Ring of Fire.
When extreme events happen below or above the earth’s surface, unusual scenery is often the result.
Take the south-western corner of the South Island as an example. Here a procession of ice ages wrought an impressive collection of fiords.
Further up the coast, there are two glaciers that refuse to believe the ice age is over - they’re still creeping down into the rainforest.
For absolute in-your-face phenomena, the North Island never fails to satisfy. Active volcanic regions, including a marine volcano that you can walk through, are outward expressions of internal turmoil.
Take a wander through the geothermal areas around Rotorua and Taupo - fumaroles, craters and geysers are endlessly fascinating. And what about boiling mud? It has to be the strangest thing you’ll ever find in a public park.
