What's special about ...?
Young people around the world tell us what's special about their countries.
#1 New Zealand
New Zealand is one of the most beautiful countries. It's a land of islands and mountains, lakes and rivers. The highest mountains are on the South Island. That's where they filmed Lord of the Rings. Aoraki/Mount Cook is 3,724 metres high! Most people live on the North Island, especially in Auckland, the biggest city. The longest river, the Waikato, is on the North Island too. It's 425 kilometres long.
What's special about New Zealand? Well, it's very far away from other countries. It's in the South Pacific Ocean, about 10,000 kilometres west of South America. And it's 1,500 kilometres east of Australia across the Tasman Sea. Another special thing is that there are only 4.6 million people but there are about 30 million sheep!
