Culture: The culture of New Zealand is a synthesis of home-grown and imported cultures. The country's earliest inhabitants brought with them customs and language from Polynesia and developed their own Māori and Moriori cultures. British colonists in the nineteenth century brought their culture and had a dramatic effect on the indigenous inhabitants, spreading their religious traditions and the English language. Māori culture also influenced the colonists and a distinctive Pākehā or New Zealand European culture has evolved. More recent immigration from the Pacific, East Asia and South Asia has also added to the cultural melting-pot.
Landmarks (popular place for tourist to visit): The Auckland Museum is both a museum and a war memorial, commemorating New Zealand's army campaigns abroad - from the Anglo-Boer War to modern day battles. The Central Otago Rail Trail follows the former Otago Central Branch railway line from Middlemarch to Clyde.
