im going in august, and the only thing i saw on TV about new zealand was this crazzzy huge bungie jump that was over this canyon.  it looked insane.  other than that, i don't know much, so i hope to find out when i go.

I think a more appropriate question is...

What does the rest of the world think is a better country - Australia, or New Zealand?

I would think most people would say australia is better just because it's bigger and prob has more to do.  i wouldn't say ether though  until i actually spent a lot of time in each, which is something i plan on doing.

Heres some photos of NZ Scenery. They're all of the Milford Track which is a 4 day tramp from the head of Lake TeAnau to Milford Sound.
