is a city of about a half
million people. It has la
climate comparable
England's but, , ,being below
the Equator, New Zealand's
seasons are the oppo$ite of
Canada's. Frost is not un-
common in July and when
Mr. Coghlin's group visited
there in November, the
temperature was up as high
as 41 degrees C (106 degrees
F.).
Not only are the seasons
different in the. southern
Howick, Don Coghlin said,
but the numbers on, the
telephone dial are likewise
backwards, and cars travel
on the left side of the narrow
roads.
' On the other hand, Howick,
New Zealand can seem very
Canadian for many' of the
surrounding towns an cities
have names such as
ford, Cambridge, Palmer-
ton, Haiinilton and Walton,..
to name a few.
Mr. Coghlin said many of
the Canadian travellers were
connected to farcuiing, So the
group visitedasvgrtali y farms
as possible. On Nov. 16 or 17
(he's not sure which It was,
having crossed the Inter-
national Date I,ine4, each •
couple was billeted ona New.
Zealand farm.
The farm on which the
Coghlins were billeted raised
a freed of- cattle called the
"Murray Grey". Don
Coghlin said the I .most
I '
noticeable diifference, In
farmin °techs , ues was, that
the farmers do not use silage
or force-feed the animals
Instead, cattle gaze on
what he described as "a
burned -off grass", althougl!
farmers.are starting to grow
sorghum, a corn -like product
also knownas millet, to feed
the anisiials: ; Grain :.,and,:
barley are New Z:e'aland's -
biggest- crops, but farniers
are now experimenting with
rite • as another potential
export.
"They'll be taking the rice
crop in in February," Mr.
Coghlin said. "But it doesn't
make sense to grow rice in
that country when they only
get 21 inches of rain a; -year.

Despite Mr. Coghill's
New Zealand feel they Can
grow better rice than the
Chinese.
The more viable form of
farming, said Mr. Coghlinits
the raising of sheep. In brew
Zealand, where theie are
only three miffion people,
there are ovr_ 60 Million ‘R,
sheep. It is a sheep does
paradise, and the dogs are
used extensively to herd the
flocks.
The Canadians discovered
cars are more expensive in
New Zealand tha,n 'here.
What North Aineric.ans call
"domestie cars" are only
assembled in Auitralia -.or
New Zealand and don't much
resernblelhe Fords or GMs
of Canada. As well, big cars
are rarely seen in that part
Mr. Coghlingelt` that ,.t.he
North American influence
touched more of New
Zealand than the car in-
duttry. He said New
Zealanders are very
knowledgeable about
Canada and the United
States polititally ana noted

Coffee is rarely seen and
most, natives' prefer a
lenirmiade drink quench,
thirst in the hottlimate. •
British sports are also
•veiry popular in Australia
Cricket, squash, sOccet and
lawn bowling being the
•favorites. The Hovvick, New
Zealand newsparier in-
formed its readers that one
of the most popular sports in
Canada is football, "which is
a lot different ftom rugby".
• "It is something like a
cross between American
grid iron • and Australian
Rules," the story said.
Kenny Rogers, Elvis
Erealey and Johnny Cash are
well-known names in the two
countries, and it wasnot too
surprising to hear some of
their music on the radio
stations, Don Coghlin said,
Arid when the Canadian:4'
were in •Howiek, they
chanced -to see the National
Army Band -Which was on
tour at the thine.
'When the travellers left
Canada on Nov. 7, thg spent
Hawaii, one, week in
Australia and the rest of
their time in NeW Zealand,
except for three days on the
island of Fiji.
When asked if he woUld
advise.a trip to New Zealand,
Don Coghlin said he would
enjoy visiting most of the
places again, but next time,
he would be armed with
more information about
Canada for the curious
natives of the other coun-
tries.
