New Zealand, Mythical Land in the Southern Hemisphere
October 9, 2016
Bill and Sally Fintel
No-where else I know of can one find snow capped alps,
Kiwis, Albatross in abundance, some of the largest Sperm Whales in the world,
and some of the friendliest people in the world. Plus lets not forget superb wines
and terrific fishing. Yes, Sally and I are considering retiring there.
This presentation will highlight our visit to New Zealand in
March 2016 accompanied by 3 very close friends. Photography will be the main
emphasis, but some of the history and uniqueness of New Zealand will also be
covered. For instance, the largest raptor that ever lived, lived in New
Zealand, and fed on the tallest bird that ever lived, the Moa. New Zealand was part of the southern
hemisphere super continent Gondwana and separated from it early in the
evolution of life on Earth, so it became a truly unique island in terms of
species that evolved on it…..like Kiwis.
