RE: Gorgeous gorge: Taieri Gorge rail journey, New Zealand

If you have family there you've got a perfect excuse to visit NZ, as if any one needs an excuse better than, it's amazingly beautiful! I hope you get there.

share photos of your stunningly scenic country!

You know, one of the ultimate insults for an Aussie is to be called a New Zealander...And vice versa.

My country is Australia, their country is New Zealand. 😆

You probably know about the often fierce rivalry NZ and AU have...It's usually just good-natured teasing, unless sport is involved, and we had a few laughs when we were in New Zealand, people having a dig at us...And us returning fire.

The cool thing is we served under the same banner in World War One, they called us ANZAC's, Australian New Zealand Army Corps; The served with distinction and that legacy lives on...I'm sure the blokes back then teased each other just as much as we do now, but we would come to the others' aid in a shot, no question.

I hope you get there, and whilst you're over this way you should stop in at my little island as Australia offers something completely different again.
