Just to answer PAF as well, it certainly wasn't sheep-shagging. We left that well and truly to the locals. ;)

Kane, there was a heap of highlights not just one:

Christchurch - very pretty city & a nice place to have a good look at.

Queenstown - the jetboats flying through the gorges & mud flats at speeds up to 85 kph

Milford Sound - might have been except for the torrential rain & winds up to 100 kph - thousands of waterfalls everywhere as a result though.

Wellington - Te Papa Museum

Rotorua - the Waiotapu thermal park, the Maori Hangi where I was elected Chief of the tribe of many nations, Paradise Valley Springs animal, bird and fish reserve (including lions) - totally enjoyed it.

Coromandel - Kiwi Dundi trek through rain forests, old gold mines etc

Auckland - the harbour cruise, Sky Tower, and Kelly Tarleton's Underwater Word. Went to the trots at Alexandra Park on Friday night.

Bay of Islands - Fuller's 4 hour cruise of the Bay of Islands and a visit to the original capital of NZ (for 9 months in 1840/1841) - a little town on the water called Russell.

NZ is a great place to visit - heaps to do and plenty of friendly rivalry between Aussies and Kiwis - a little like the friendly (???) rivalry between Crows and Port supporters. ;)
Sounds like you had an awesome time - brings back memories of when I visited the South island. Did you visit either Frans Josef or Fox glaciers?

Both Kane. Interesting but still only really rivers of ice. Probably felt that way because there is so much snow and ice around.

I did a heli-hike on Frans Josef & actually got to explore the ice caverns. They are more interesting at the top than at their base. Had a kamikaze pilot too which made for a fantastic flight in the helicopter.
