I was recently asked: What is New Zealand Famous for, that people not-from-New Zealand would know of? I couldn't think of many things at the time, so I plan to blog about them here.

What is New Zealand World Famous For?
The All Blacks rugby team Its anti-nuclear policy
Having a population of 4 million people and 80 million sheep
The America's Cup (until the last one)
Being the first country in the world to give women the vote
* Please leave me a comment if you can add to this list.
country or place that gave women the vote - is there a reference on the net? South Australia gave women the vote 1894 - I thought that they were the first. Cheers - sorry, just curious.
Thanks for the question, there is an NZ government site Elections.org.nz that says NZ was the "Country" in the world to give women the vote in 1893. Check it out...
