Moving to New Zealand
New Zealand is known as the “adventure capital of the world”, and combines that well-deserved reputation with breathtaking scenery and an enviable work-life balance.
The culture in New Zealand is diverse, sophisticated and famously welcoming, with a high percentage of now permanent residents having made the journey from foreign shores originally themselves. The major cities like Auckland and the capital Wellington are modern and cosmopolitan, yet charming.
The landscape ranges from beaches and temperate rainforests on the North Island, to the incredibly stunning mountainous regions of the Southern Alps on the South Island, made famous by the Lord of the Rings trilogy. You will find that in some areas, you can be just a few hours' drive from world class ski fields, lush rainforests and beautiful beaches all at the same time.
For more information on each of New Zealand's regions visit the New Zealand tourism website at www.newzealand.com/au/destinations.
