New Zealand Facts
Fascinating things most travellers never learn
New Zealand was the last significant land mass on Earth to be settled by humans — Polynesians arrived around 1280 CE. For most of human history, it was a land of birds with no land mammals.
New Zealand was the first country to give women the right to vote, in 1893. Kate Sheppard led the suffrage movement after presenting a petition signed by 32,000 women — about a quarter of the country's adult female population.
New Zealand has no native land mammals except bats — because it separated from Gondwana 80 million years ago before mammals evolved. Birds filled every ecological niche instead, many growing flightless and enormous.
