	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: New Zealand
		In the North island also is the wonderland of the boiling geysers—said by geologists to be the oldest in the world, with the exception of those in Wyoming and Idaho—and the famous "Hot Lakes" and pools, which possess great curative virtue for all rheumatic and skin diseases.
		New Zealand Catholics have never asked or desired a grant for the religious education which is imparted in their schools.
		The history of Catholic journalism in New Zealand is in effect the history of the "New Zealand Tablet," founded by the late Bishop Moran in 1873, the Catholics of this country having followed the principle that it is better to be represented by one strong paper than to have a multiplicity of publications.

		The South Island forms one of the two major islands of New Zealand, the other being the North Island.
		Maps, headings or tables, and adjectival expressions use "South Island"; whereas "the South Island" is used after a preposition or before or after a verb; eg "my mother lives in the South Island", "the North Island is smaller than the South Island", "I'm visiting the South Island".
		The South Island is often called the Mainland (somewhat humorously) by some New Zealanders because it is the largest of the islands of New Zealand, and because the North Island is considered to be somewhat peripheral to South Islanders.

	Travel: New Zealand South Island
		Even the larger New Zealand newspapers that we sometimes found in the bigger towns carried very little world news, although their international cricket coverage was uniformly excellent.
		Groceries are reasonably priced in New Zealand, which is fortunate since food in the modest sort of eateries we frequented is not particularly cheap ($NZ25 for a medium pizza, a beer, and a soda in Fox Glacier, for example) and, in our limited experience, not very interesting either.
		The entire South Island had only one Compuserve node, in Christchurch, and a three minute call to Christchurch from a payphone on the West Coast would eat up most of a $NZ5 phone card, so we didn't log on too often and web browsing was out of the question.

		The South Island of New Zealand is known by Maori as Te Wai Pounamu – Water of Greenstone.
		Much of the Pounamu (Greenstone or Jade) used in Maori jewellery was sourced from the rivers of the South Island, but the name also invokes the gem-like hues of many South Island lakes and rivers – from the deep jade of the Waimakariri River to the turquoise coloured Lake Tekapo.
		New Zealand’s largest and most renowned wine growing region, Marlborough is a place of astounding beauty – from the stunning coves and inlets of the Marlborough Sounds to the wineries of Blenheim, and the unbridled sheep stations of the Awatere Valley.

	New Zealand
		We headed south from south Auckland; climbing over the Bombay Hills (not a curry in sight), through Hamilton (no steel mills either) to Otorohanga to see the kiwis stomping around the nocturnal house.
		We may have been the first to usher in the new millennium, but we also seemed to be in the wettest country on the planet.
		The tranquility of the island was shattered each night by bird parties; penguins called and played "kick the can" on the deck and kiwi birds played "cops and robbers", often blowing their whistles right outside our window.
