Let’s imagine that New Zealand was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean next week (Eek!). Before it sinks you are asked to write a blog post telling people what life was like in New Zealand in 2018. On your blog, post a description of life in New Zealand in 2018. Please remember that the people who read your post will have never been to New Zealand or even seen a picture so it is your job to ‘paint a picture’ of New Zealand using your words. You can also post pictures, if you wish. Be sure to fully attribute the pictures.
I lived in a small area inland called Moonlight/Atarau, about half an hour away from Greymouth, on the West Coast of the South Island. Most of the people in this area are farmers, dairy and beef. There are beautiful rivers and lakes where people can go swimming, rafting and kayaking. There are tree left, right and center, native and pine. There are many bush tracks which people use to run, walk and bike. Everyone is very sociable, up for a chat anytime. There are some cities as well like Christchurch, Auckland and NZ's capital Wellington. In winter there are some awesome ski fields around, especially down south. NZ was beautiful and there was nowhere in the world anywhere like it.
Hi Jessica!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great description of your local area - I haven't been to Atarau before so it was nice to hear about what it is like!
Are your family farmers too?
Which rivers and lakes would you recommend for swimming? I love to swim in the summer so I would be heading straight there!
I also like that there are lots of bush tracks - When I was younger my family and I used to go for a bush walk every Sunday so we would have made good use of those tracks - Do you use them often?
You are right, New Zealand truely is beautiful and one of a kind - you have done a great job describing it in all its glory!
You have also made me very keen to visit Atarau!
Awesome work Jessica!
