We stayed in New Zealand 3� years working and touring and finally becoming
citizens of this great South Pacific nation. With a small economy that
depends too much on agricultural products, NZ is still a first rate country with
all of the conveniences of the US or Europe, but not the choices - only 10 types
of breakfast cereal instead of 40. Look at our New
Zealand page to share some of our experiences.

A year and a half was only enough to touch the surface of this marvelous and
BIG country!  We
drove around the perimeter, staying south during their summer and north during
the winter, and had great, sunny weather. The trip up through the center,
or Outback was exceptional - thousands of square miles of sparsely covered red
sand with huge flocks of colorful birds, kangaroos and wallabies. The occasional
road-house provided hospitality along with diesel and cold drinks. After a
year we were worn out, and back in Brisbane to sell our vehicle. A quick
cruise though the Great Barrier Reef rounded out a marvelous 1� years in
Australia, the Land of Oz. If you are intrigued, pick a spot on the Australia
map or join us on our Australia page!
