Gut 24 Flugstunden von Europa entfernt liegt Neuseeland als grünes Inselriff in der Wasserweite des Südpazifiks. Aotearoa, das »Land der weißen Wolke«, nannten die Maori ihre neue Heimat. Sie kamen als Segelmeister von südpazifischen Inseln und betraten die Inseln vor gut einem Jahrtausend als erste Menschen. Sie fanden ein Paradies der Vögel, eine immergrüne Vegetation aus dichtem Regenwald. Den heutigen Besucher erwartet ein Freilichtmuseum der Natur, die letzte Insel der Wälder Gondwanalands, jenes vor 70-100 Mio. Jahren in Australien, Afrika, Südamerika und Antarktis zerbrochenen großen Südkontinents.
