[Squid]: Pacific Bobtail Squid

A Kiwi is also a name for a person who lives in New Zealand, which is most definitely NOT part of Australia! There is 2153.61 km (1338.23 miles) between Sydney, Australia and Auckland, NZ.

see http://z.about.com/d/goaustralia/1/0/H/P/australianzmap.jpg

Two different countries with different governments, currency etc although they both started out as colonies of the UK.........but then so did the US :twisted:

The Kiwi bird is our national bird and can only be found in NZ buildyourownbirdhouseplans.com


not to be confused with the Kiwi fruit (also called the Kiwi!) which used to be called the chinese gooseberry! http://www.nutritiousfruit.com/images/Kiwi-Fruit.jpg

Invalid argument. The distance between Atlanta, GA and San Francisco is 3443 kilometers or 2139 miles or 1859 nautical miles and they are in the same country :cephdevil:

Well true, but they don't have a deep, rough sea between them, the Tasman sea is notorious for sinking vessels!!!

Anyway Kiwi's are really not used to thinking of countries in such vast terms, we can drive from one end of the country to the other (Kaitaia to Halfmoon Bay) in about four to five days and that includes 2 ferry rides!!! (Cook Strait between North and South Island and Foveaux Strait between South and Stewart Island).

No Kiwi is more than an hour or so drive from the sea! :biggrin2:

Dang thats pretty cool. I'm about 20 minutes away from the beach, but it's pretty lame. It's the Mare Island Straight next to Vallejo in California, and nothing cool lives in the water there but nurse sharks. I'm jealous, all the bodies of water around New Zealand are crammed with interesting marine life.
