They also said that New Zealand was the first country in the world to give women equal rights.

My you've been busy - what great knitting and in this heat!!! We've travelled a lot of NZ but have never made it north of Warkworth so seeing your lovely pics and coverage on TV has reminded me that I want to go. But then again I want to come down south again, and also to Te Urewera, and back to the Bay of Plenty .... and so and so on! You have a fantastic country here and we are so happy to be back!!! xCut&Alterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05513430347949305435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622391971917833715.post-61042288088422744332009-02-05T19:40:00.000-08:002009-02-05T19:40:00.000-08:00learning somnething new here all the time.

Were you aware of the Declaration of Independence, signed about 5y earlier? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_the_Independence_of_New_Zealand<BR/><BR/>INterestingly this seems to be far more thorough than the treaty, looks after the Maori alot more, and it regarded by many as the true founding document - or at least the basis for the treaty. Unfortunately few know about it....<BR/><BR/>Happy Waitangi Day - I wonder if the flags are flying on the Harbour Bridge?Fihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966527328708692582noreply@blogger.com
