New Zealand is located in the south-west Pacific Ocean, 1,600 kilometres south-east of Australia. It
consists of two main islands called the North Island and the South Island and a number of small islands. The
Maori - Polynesian race - were the first people who settled in New Zealand before the year 750 A.D. The first
European, a Dutch man called Abel Tasman arrived in New Zealand in 1642. Over a hundred year later, in 1769,
Captain James Cook who belonged to the British Royal Navy discovered Fiordland in the South of New Zealand.
Then came the navigators, sealers, whalers, explorers and miners. From 1840, New Zealand was a British Colony.
It became an independent nation in 1947.

New Zealand is as large as the United Kingdom or Japan, but it has a much smaller population, only about
4.9 million. Most people live on the North Island where there are two biggest cities: Wellington, the Capital City,
and Auckland, the biggest City in terms of population.

New Zealand is a beautiful country of snow-capped mountains, beaches and waterfalls. It’s also famous
for its large population of sheep. There are about 45 million sheep living in farms all over the country. New

Zealand has many special birds. The best known is the kiwi. This lightless bird is the national emblem of New
Zealand. New Zealanders call themselves “kiwis”; it’s their nicknames!
