Paulo,
Since the Aussies have 'that' weird fascination with sheep you might be better off in NZ, wouldnt want you picking up their bad habits! The Title of Nino Calottas ( hope I spelt that correctly ) book was " They are a Weird Mob" & was in reference to the Aussies.
Plenty happening down South, here are some random pics for you to feast your eyes on from "Warbirds over Wanaka'' Air Show & others. As you can see we get a few 'grey days' as well.
