Information on countries will also be outlined, including population size, climate, ethnic groups, language, main industries, and so on. The guide will almost certainly provide details of points of interest, including national icons, national parks, mountain ranges, beaches, lakes and any other features of the country that are unique.

Information about Australia and New Zealand

Australia is an island continent located to the southeast of Asia. The Commonwealth of Australia is made up of six states (New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, and Western Australia) and two territories - the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. The first inhabitants of Australia were the Aboriginal people, with the first permanent European settlement established in 1788 at Port Jackson. Australia is the most sparsely populated of the inhabited continents, of which 93% live in cities. The major cities include Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Canberra. Australia contains world-renown destinations such as the Great Barrier Reef (largest coral formation in the world), as well as unique plants and animals (such as the kangaroo, koala and wombat).

New Zealand is part of the Pacific Islands, which consists of more than 25,000 islands of 25 nations. New Zealand includes two large islands that constitute most of its landmass, as well as numerous small islands. New Zealand is located within the Ring of Fire, a region encircling the Pacific Ocean where the movement of tectonic plates leads to volcanic and seismic activity. The long geographical isolation of the islands has resulted in many plants and animals found nowhere else in the world. New Zealand is located in the Southern Temperate Zone, south of the tropics. It has a mild climate with four seasons. New Zealanders of European descent comprise about 75 percent of the population. Maori, the original inhabitants of New Zealand, are the largest non-European group.

http://www.kiwigetaway.com/

Kiwigetaway.com is an online directory bringing owners of New Zealand holiday houses and baches together with holiday accommodation seekers. We help to arrange rentals of holiday homes throughout NZ.

Kiwigetaway is a concept born out of our own frustration with trying to book and let a holiday home. One of the main problems holiday renters encounter while looking for holiday accommodation is the inability to see when the holiday home or bach is available. This results in numerous phone calls and emails to homeowners trying to establish the availability of the holiday home, bach, crib, apartment or vacation rental. As a homeowner, the frustrations are similar - many hours taking phone calls and e-mails from renters wanting to book holiday accommodation for times that have already been booked. We have developed a site that is simple to use, eliminates the hassle from renting a holiday home online, and provides a leading edge service to renters, homeowners and advertisers alike. Kiwigetaway.com is a complete holiday solution. Every property has a live calendar that tells you when it is available. The whole transaction is completed in one visit to our site by viewing, booking, and paying online.
