The trip will cost you a hell of alot of money. I used to live in W.A in Australia, and Whangamata, Raglan and hamilton in Enzed. There both really beautiful places. I was only on OZ for 6 months so didn't get to do that much moving around. I lived in the north island in NZ for 2 and a half years and I loved it, The people are all really chilled out and its a amazing country, (the newest on the earth) If you do go, Make sure you go to tongariro national park. It's a 6 hour walk that crosses 3 mountains, but its like another planet. Make sure you go to rotorua aswel. Theres some amazing volcanic stuff going on there like geezers that shoot water 50 foot into the air You have to go to raglan just to see this perfect left hand break. The rainforest around raglan is insane aswell. Mad water falls that go into chrystal clear lakes you can swim in. Just do f**k loads of research before you go anywhere. I would type more but really cant be assed
