I reckon Oceania or Pacific would fit best.
But i guess Samoa or Fiji don't exactly have dance parties do they?
Plus, i don't frequent this part of the forum because it's not for Kiwi's (technically) so how was i to know they posted NZ events in here when it's a forum for Aussies.
Label it differently so kiwi's can have a go too. |

mmmm tectonics :D
here you can see a map detailing the outline of the tectonic plates on earth. as you can see new zealand is sort of ed up on the boundary of the australian and the pacific plate. so you could sort of say it is part of australia if you wanted to in that sense :D the pacific plate is being subducted westwards underneath the australian plate causing volcanic activity and earthquakes. you could say this is tectonic shift, there you go mr renegade :D
i'm not 100% sure but i think new zealand was never part of the "mainland" of australia, even when we were part of gondwana. i think NZ was still outboard of the mainland, part of a volcanic arc offshore. i could be wrong though :p |

oh my god, how will they manage that? the actors will need 20 year contracts, with an open ended clause since it will take so long to get through all books plus they dont seem like they are going to end anytime soon :p
Dj_Es-Dva: not necessarily, because the subducting slab promotes melting in the mantle, which creates volcanic arcs, and eventually depending on movement directions and stuff you can have continent-continent collisions (himalayas) so you could get more NZ! :eyespop:
haha cheers deeman :p |
