Woodward  +  4200 Wed, 13 Aug 03 03:03 PM I saw Mount Everest mentioned in another post. New Zealand is a land of 'firsts'. The first person to climb to the top of Mt Everst was from New Zealand, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing a local shirpa. It was the first country to give women the right to vote. It has the first city to see the sun in the world. I'll look for more... What other things do you know about New Zealand?

	Woodward  +  10651 Mon, 13 Oct 03 01:45 PM Hi Mystical Angel, Your information is fairly accurate. You are right that it is a very agricultural country with the main business being cattle and sheep and their derivitives such as dairy products. Milk, cheese, yoghurt, meat as well as fruit are our big industries with tourism being another sector growing an incredible amount. There are a lot of unspoilt beautiful scenic areas throughout New Zealand. Since there are so few people in NZ, there is a lot of space, a lot of natural parks and forests and most of the country is unpolluted. Woodward
