New Zealand is an extraordinary place: long isolated in the vast Pacific, it became an evolutionary ‘laboratory’. Deep in its primeval forests live bizarre, unique and eccentric life forms; weird birds that refuse to fly, giant insects, and living fossils of unfathomable age. Travel across New Zealand and the constantly changing landscapes warp the senses: scenes of alpine Switzerland become arid Spain, tropical Borneo morphs into the high Andes - and all on a cluster of islands half the size of France! From the heights of Mount Aoraki/Mount Cook, New Zealand’s highest peak, to the misty “shadowlands” of Fiordland and the spectacular depths of the Hauraki Marine Park, Wild About New Zealand explores the magic that is found in New Zealand’s National Parks’ wildernesses.
