Why NZ? • Many similarities to the UK but couldn’t be more different • Maori culture is something everyone should experience and at AUT you will- NohoMarae • Most unique place in the world- sand dunes, 90 mile beach, snow topped mountains, dolphins/whales/penguins, natural hot pools, extreme sports capital of the world, hot water beach, glaciers, greenery (lord of the rings), good city/night life, THE PEOPLE! • Doesn’t take long to travel round- North/South Island
Explore the continent • Went to Australia- Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast & Melbourne • Close to Fiji, Samoa, Cook Islands, Tonga • When else will you be 2-3 hours away?
