Stopover: New Zealand

We stopped in New Zealand for a week on our way to our first Foreign Service posting in Canberra, in January 1985. It was a beautiful and interesting country that I wouldn't have minded revisiting, but unfortunately we never got a chance to during our two years in Australia.

I love New Zealand. Thank you for this brief tour of how things were back in the 80's. A lot is still the same today.

Thank you for those images of NZ. It is one of my regrets to not have spend some times in this country while I visited Australia on 3 occasions. V.
