The recent film trilogy, The Lord of the Rings brought the spotlight on the other land down under, New Zealand. I like to think of it as the world’s second ‘green and pleasant land.’ New Zealand is made up of lush islands that are geographically similar to Great Britain.
I’d love to go someday. Until I can, though, I came across this really cool website today run by the New Zealand government. It’s call New Zealand History Online. It’s an online encyclopedia of history about that second ‘green and pleasant land.’
I spent a couple hours exploring through it and it’s really well done. The web developer in me loves the layout and how everything works. The Anglophile in me loves the history.
So, if you’re interested in New Zealand, check out New Zealand History Online.

Anglotopia was founded by Jonathan and Jackie Thomas for people who love Britain - whether it's British TV, Culture, History or Travel - we cover it all. Anglotopia was started to get us back to the UK for a trip and it did that in 2009. Now, the goal is for Anglotopia to make our dream of living in the UK a reality.
