Colossal volcanoes, gargantuan glaciers, lavish rainforest, eternal lakes - New Zealand is surely the most fantastic land on earth (or Middle-earth)... even if you are far more likely to trip over a sheep than a hobbit.

The islands that make up the Maori "Land of the Long White Cloud" lie in the South Pacific Ocean, 1600km south-east of Australia - but let the association end there, for New Zealand is quick to assert its own identity and culture. Life in New Zealand is about much more than kiwi-spotting: the cities are sophisticated and multicultural, and the people overwhelmingly friendly and open.

From whale-riders to all-blacks, New Zealand is also adventure-sport heaven for those who dare, offering more ways to hurl yourself into open-space than anywhere else in the known world. The essential accessory is a digital camera - to impress everyone back home with your white-faced fear mid spectacular daredevil feat!

With a Working Holiday Visa you can spend up to a whole year living and working in New Zealand or simply stop off to top up your funds as you circumnavigate the world.
