New Zealand is divided into ‘regions’ for the purpose of both political and environmental management. There are 20-odd regions each having a capital city and a regional council.
Each region is unique in its own way, be it landscape or culture or tourist attractions.
Some of the main (and popular) cities are Auckland (the largest), Hamilton in the Waikato region, New Plymouth in the Taranaki area, Wellington (Wellinglton / Kapiti region) and Christchurch (Canterbury region). Others such as Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty area and Nelson in the Nelson/Tasman area are known for their recreation parks and marine reserves. Queenstown is in Otago, a nature-lover’s delight, known for its inland lakes, wildlife and plants.
