 Engineering in New Zealand - North Island
During recent years the New Zealand Government, which owns all the railways, has been spending a great deal of money in attempting to flatten some of the steep gradients which could not be avoided when the first of her main lines were laid.
Now that railway traffic has grown in New Zealand to its present dimensions, however, the time has come to increase the speed and the capacity of the lines, and money is being spent freely on improving the old routes, as well as in new railway construction on an extensive scale.
Meantime, the New Zealand Government Railways are entitled to boast that they work the heaviest trains in the world over a gradient as steep as 1 in 13.

 New Zealand
As well as Auckland, the North Island has two more of New Zealand's four main cities, Wellington which is the capital (and the southernmost national capital in the world), and Hamilton a little south of Auckland which isn't on this map because it's not much of a tourist destination.
New Zealand doesn't have fireflies but it does have glow-worms, light-emitting larvae which live inside caves or forest grottos, dangling sticky threads from the ceiling to catch flying insects attracted to the light.
As far as wildlife is concerned, New Zealand was a paradise for birds before humans arrived, unfortunately many of them were wiped out either directly or by the animals which were brought into the country, and many of the rest are nocturnal like the national bird the kiwi, making them difficult to see.

Despite the isolation and relative small size of New Zealand in the vast expanse of the South Pacific ocean, at least 36 arctic waders have been recorded here and of these about a dozen are annual visitors, some in small numbers and the rest irregular stragglers.
This flyway is one of the least understood of the world's migration flyways as much of the flight path, inaccessible to ornithologists and bird watchers, has had to be deduced from the scanty evidence of recovered banded birds.
Rare migrants that stray from their regular migration route and reach New Zealand only occasionally such as the Siberian and wandering tattlers, terek sandpiper, pectoral sandpiper, large sand dotterel, Mongolian dotterel, grey plover, sanderling, Hudsonian godwit, greenshank and marsh sandpiper, are termed vagrants.
