Animals not of New Zealand
There are no kangaroos, koala bears, or duck-billed platypuses in New Zealand. Or crocodiles. Or poisonous snakes. That is Australia. New Zealand is SOOOO not the same thing as Australia. The nearest part of Australia is over 1400 miles away across the Tasman Sea!

I've always been aware of this; but most people don't realize this! Australia is a continent, and I'd say NZ qualifies as a (albiet huge) tropical island (s). You are indeed so fortunate to be living in such a beautiful place. Correct me if I'm wrong, but NZ is the result of volcanic activity, not continental drift!
