North Island?

90130_ That is the top half of the South Island and the bottom bit of the North Island. The town I grew up in is at the southern most point of the large bay at the top of the South Island. It is a beautiful part of the world and has a great climate, awesome beaches, clear water rivers, etc. Unfortunately it is a small city with limited work opportunities and no decent tertiary education facilities, so I have not lived there since 1986. I now live about the middle of the North Island, which is not shown in the pic. Damn I miss the beach!

It must be truly awesome in real life. All I know of NZ is from all of the tourism info I've gleaned from the web, and a crazy Kiwi friend of mine that I ride sportbikes with.

Well done Anne! Nelson (named after the famous English Admiral, Lord Horatio Nelson) was the city I was referring to. I actually lived about 20km from the city in a small town called Brightwater, famous for being the birthplace of Ernest Rutherford, the first person to split the atom (although most of his research was done at Cambridge, England and Montreal, Canada).

Even weirder is some amateur astronomer actually spotted it with a telescope orbiting all on it's lonesome.
