SCENIC Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Hi Buttercup, I had an uncle/aunt living in Rotorua. Uncle emigrated in 1939 and never been back. He loved it there. I went in 1996 to see them and the country is fabulous. Rotorua is so clean and the people so fiendly. A lot of ex pats in Auckland. For scenery, the South Island is the place, but the more northerly you come, the warmer it gets. From Rotorua northwards, its mor or less sub tropical. I have a cousin livin in the 'Bay of Islands'. It would be great for you and your son. A good future for anyone with any skills. Best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qhun1 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 And of course it's only a hop skip and a jump over to sunny Brisbane!! I lived in Christchurch in the Sth Island for 10 years before we moved over to oz. Miss NZ like mad, tho' places like the Gold Coast with Surfers Paradise and the Sunshine Coast, help ease the pain somewhat! Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
