new? you mean you've already had one?

Welcome!

North Island or South Island of NZ? I hear they're quite different from each other. I may visit NZ in the next year or two! I'm excited. So... where would you recommend I go?

Have fun on CAA!

I'm definitely already having fun on CAA. There's a lot of awesome people here :beams:

I'm from the North Island - couldn't survive down there in the cold of the South Island, away from all the beautiful fishing and swimming and lack of snow up here. Eeeek - snow. I'm too terrible at skii-ing and snowboarding for that, too, so I stay up here in the warm

We-ell... if you're interested at in in LotR, there should be some sort of site on the web if you search google that will tell you all the locations it was filmed - that or there are a lot of location guidebooks in the stores here. Otherwise - in our Summer, you should check out the Hauraki Gulf if you're into fishing/boating, Goat Island if you're into snorkelling wish big fishies in a marine reserve (went there a few years back though so can't remember it that well), the mudpools in Rotorua (and the luge up there too).

There's also pretty good ski-ing and snowboarding in many of the mountains etc. There's the shotover jet, the bungee (of course ), vertical bungee, glow-worm caves, whitewater rafting (I think) and of course tons of wildlife reserves and zoos and the like wherever you go. I think you can also go right down the bottom of the country to Stuart Island which I also think is a wildlife reserve and see our rare native animals. And there's whale and dolphin-watching boats where you can go out and see the animals in the sea.

I'm not the best advertiser of NZ though, apart from enthusiam . There's a lot more to do that I can't remember right now - but there are a lot of places to go depending on your interests. Anyhow, if you do end up going I hope you have a lot of fun.

Whoa. Long post. Hope it was informative anyhow, and thank you for the welcome (though not so much for the lick....)

Greetings and salutations!

Well, I would say something witty and charming, but unfortunately I seem to be fresh out of originality. Grr...

Oh well. Welcome and have fun. And you should use the shoutbox!

Greetings and salutations to you also.

Hmm... lets see what I do. *sends two kiwi on a piece of driftwood over to you with the words 'witty and charming' painted in steadily more distorted letters on their sides (one word to each bird) so that you can always claim to have wit and charm!*

I will have fun. And I will try to use the shoutbox.

Thank you and God bless you.

Hi and welcome, CreatureArt! ^____^ I have to agree with Sunako and say "I love your avatar."

Thank you! - you guys all prompted me to do another avatar, now - I hope you find it as cute as the last one (at least it has a better background ).

I've got to admit, though, when you do an image large then resize it so it's that tiny, it looks a great deal better than when it first began (it seems more detailed because it's more compact). Still - I thank you for your compliments of my avatar(s)!

[CreatureArt]

New Zealand is VERY pretty (yes, I spent a week on the north island!). My uncle's from Wellington. Awesome. Enjoy your stay CreatureArt!

Thank you, Esoteric!

You've been to NZ! That's awesome. Sometimes you run into people who don't know where I am - or at least who I can tell went to look at an online map and info site so they didn't offend me .

Your Uncle's from Wellington? Cool! I went down there for a school trip and thoroughly enjoyed it. I got to go in and see a parliament session - and accidentaly called a camera-man a pigeon! (long story... ok not that long ).

God bless.

Hello CreatureArt
Welcome to CAA:jump:
post Post POST!! XD!!

I agree! your avi Is Kawaii!!
*chews on the avatar*

Heh heh heh - I AM posting like crazy tring to keep up with all you nice people who have said hi and welcomed me. :beams: - though mostly to make up for the face I won't be able to spend nearly as much time on the computer 2morrow since it's a school-day (Labour Day today *hoorah!*).

Noooo! *sneaks avatar back while you're not looking, wipes it off and hangs up a spiffy new one in it's place *. Thank you! I'm really having fun with avatars. Maybe I'll end up with a whole collection of them .

God bless and thanks for your cool welcome

[CreatureArt]

Welcome, i think your the only kiwi here as far as i know, but then again theres not alot of aussies around either. Us ANZACs gotta stick together
Enjoy your time here.

I agree - us ANZACs should stick together - if I'm the only (so far known) kiwi here then some people have got to know about moas and the flightless kiwi and all the other typically endangered flightless birds that live in NZ,

Weird thing. There are more possums then people or sheep here in New Zealand - so many that they're a real nuisance - and they're endangered over in the place they originally came from - Australia! :shakes head: I wish we could help each other out by shipping the possums back to you! .

Seriously, though - Australia is a great place, and so are you Aussies (nationalistic rivalry aside). I've been there a few times and really enjoyed it. I have a feeling that I'm going to meet a lot more Aussies before this thread dies... and I'm going to thoroughly enjoy doing so, too.

So thanks heaps for your welcome - and go ANZACs!

Take care and God bless both you and our two countries.

Hey Osaka!

Yeah! Go Fruits Basket! I've only seen episodes 1, 2, 3, and 8 but hopefully that'll be remedied soon! I'm really enjoying the series.

Thanks for the welcome.

God bless!
