Sea Freight to New Zealand from Australia

ABOUT NEW ZEALAND (AOTEAROA)

New Zealand is located in the southwestern Pacific, approx 2000 kilometers from Australia. New Zealand consists of two main islands, the North Island and The South Island. There are many hundreds of small islands also doted all around NZ. As at 2021 New Zealands population was approx 5 million.

The original native inhabitants of NZ were Moriori (or so we were taught as children growing up in NZ). Infact there is now debate about the original inhabitants, in the NZ 19th century it was taught at schools that Moriori were the original inhabitants and the Maori people were descendants of Moriori. The most recent opinion is that anthropologists were mistaken and that Moriori were originally from the Chatham Islands and that the Moriori were descendants of Maori people from New Zealand’s North and South Islands. Currently there are around 700 people who identify as Moriori, most of whom no longer live on the Chatham Islands. The Maori people were the first people to discover NZ, it is thought that the Moari people came originally from Hawaii in “Waka’s” (Maori name for canoe’s). The Maori were renowned fierce warriors. Interestingly, when the British first arrived in NZ to settle the country they had many battles with the Maori, but could not defeat the Maori people. This is how the treaty of Waitangi came about. Basically the treaty of Waitangi drawn up by the British at the time, was a deal with the Maori people to return the land of NZ to Maori ownership after 100 years.

The Capital City of NZ, is Wellington, located at the bottom of the North Island, The NZ Government meets in Wellington at the “Beehive” (a term for NZ’s parliament building). The largest city in NZ is Auckland, located in the North of New Zealand’s north island. Auckland’s population is approx 1.6 million people. The second largest city in NZ is Christchurch, Christchurch (CHCH) is located on the east coast of the South Island.

Unlike Australia (settled by British convicts) New Zealand’s settlers were mostly middle class English, Scottish and Irish. The English influence is easily noticed when visiting Christchurch (some say more English than England!) If you head further south to Dunedin and Invercargill you will see a lot of Scottish and Irish buildings and hear the distinctive “rolling of the R” when speaking to Southlanders!

New Zealanders are referred to as “Kiwi’s” and “punch well above there weight” when it comes to achievements on the worlds stage. For example the first man to conquer Mt Everest (the worlds highest mountain) was New Zealander. Sir Edmund Hillary. We could not talk about NZ without mentioning The All Blacks, New Zealand’s national rugby team.
