New Zealand, 1843

Kerry — Thu, 15 May 2008 09:23:00 +0100

Very cool(for me anyway) map of New Zealand from 1843. A couple of noticeable name differences are:

New Ulster, New Munster, and New Leinster are the North, South and Stewart Islands respectively.
Tasman Bay is known as Blind Bay(Tasman Bay of D’Urville).

This comes from the David Rumsey Historical Map Collection which has plenty of other cool maps to checkout.

NZ Cricket team crash to another loss

It isn’t good reading if you’re a NZ cricket fan.

This competition is all about New Zealand vs. England, it isn’t worth even worrying about beating Australia until either team is in the final.

If New Zealand can find more than one batsmen to score their runs during an innings then we have a chance, otherwise we’re going into 2007 with a disappointing result against Sri Lanka, and no result from the Tri Series.
