New Zealand (/njuːˈziːlənd/new-ZEE-lənd, Māori:Aotearoa[aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses – that of the North Island, or Te Ika-a-Māui, and the South Island, or Te Waipounamu – and numerous smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres (900mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long isolation, New Zealand developed a distinctive biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland.
Somewhere between 1250 and 1300 CE, Polynesians settled in the islands that were to become New Zealand, and developed a distinctive Māori culture. In 1642, Abel Tasman, a Dutch explorer, became the first European to sight New Zealand. In 1840, representatives of the British Crown and Māori Chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi, making New Zealand a British colony. Today, the majority of New Zealand's population of 4.5 million is of European descent; the indigenous Māori are the largest minority, followed by Asians and Pacific Islanders. Reflecting this, New Zealand's culture is mainly derived from Māori and early British settlers, with recent broadening arising from increased immigration. The official languages are English, Māori and New Zealand Sign Language, with English predominant.
The 2011 Rugby World Cup was the seventh Rugby World Cup, a quadrennial international rugby union competition inaugurated in 1987. The International Rugby Board (IRB) selected New Zealand as the host country in preference to Japan and South Africa at a meeting in Dublin on 17 November 2005. The tournament was won by New Zealand, who defeated France 8–7 in the final. The defending champions, South Africa, were eliminated by Australia 11–9 in the quarter-finals. The result marked the third time that the tournament was won by the country that hosted the event (following New Zealand in 1987 and South Africa in 1995).
It was the largest sporting event ever held in New Zealand, eclipsing the 1987 Rugby World Cup, 1990 Commonwealth Games, 1992 Cricket World Cup and the 2003 America's Cup. Overseas visitors to New Zealand for the event totalled 133,000, more than the 95,000 that the organisers expected. However, there was a drop in non-event visitors, meaning the net increase in visitors over the previous year was less than 80,000.
Waterview is primarily a residential area, with its residents commuting to work. There are few shops: a dairy, laundromat, bakery, and a community-owned cafe. Community facilities are available at Point Chevalier or Avondale, 20–30 minutes walk away.
History
The Waterview area, especially along the coast and inlet areas, has a relatively high incidence of archeologically significant areas, from old settlement remnants (both Maori and early European settler), to a comparatively well-retained site of an old mill/tannery and quarry (Star Mill/Garret Bros Tannery) which is scheduled as a Category I Historic Place, and which once used the stream waters to drive a waterwheel.
The NZ Hawks wear a distinctive silver and black ADIDAS uniform which consists of a guernsey (singlet), shorts and socks. The guernsey contains New Zealand's silver fern and the Hawks logo. Before every match, similar to the all blacks, the NZ Hawks will perform a haka.
Waterview Tunnel & Connection in Auckland, New Zealand
This video covers both New Zealand State Highway's 16 & 20 through the Waterview Tunnel & Waterview Connection, a combined $1.7 billion dollar project that built New Zealand's longest road tunnel, widened New Zealand State Highway 16 from 6 to 9 lanes, built a comprehensive set of sweeping flyovers to link together Highway's 16 & 20, and completed the final segment of the 48 kilometre Western Ring Route.

The Waterview Connection | How small details can define a city
The Waterview Connection is the final 5km link to complete the NZ Transport Agency’s Western Ring Route motorway around Auckland.
The Waterview Connection is the largest and most complex road infrastructure project ever undertaken in New Zealand. A 14.4m outside diameter Earth Pressure Balanced (EPB) Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) was used to complete the twin 2.4km long tunnels, located at the heart of the scheme.

When they say We were never old enough to care It's like first of November And when they say We were never good enough to love They've been washed in the holy waters So I wanna die With my eyes full life All the years I survived I knew nothing about Nothing about So I wanna die With my head full life All the years I survived I knew nothing about Nothing about so much Hope we got far 'Cause here it's the same as for a bear To be stuck inside a bird cage And if we swim To see New Zealand with our friends Oh would you please bury me there And sing Together for the new start I'm sailing Through the mighty coast lines As a ghost on a holiday So I wanna die With my eyes full life All the years I survived I knew nothing about Nothing about So I wanna die With my head full life All the years I survived I knew nothing about
