- Mount Ruapehu & Tongariro National Park
Mount Ruapehu is familiar to more people than know it - it was used as Mount Doom in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The ultimate landmark of Middle Earth is in reality a still-active - and just as awe-inspiring - volcano. It smokes and bubbles in the centre of Tongariro National Park, an area of incredible natural beauty, a holy space for the Maoris and home to "the best one-day walk in the world".
- Great Barrier Reef
To experience the timeless beauty of the undersea world, you can't get much better than Australia's Great Barrier Reef - the largest coral reef system in the world, which offers incredible opportunites for diving and snorkelling.
- Auckland Art Gallery
A delightful mixture of indigenous art - Maori and settlers' - with a sprinkling of the international, the Auckland Art Gallery is a great success. Tall white neo-classical walls house the renovated interior and a series of pleasantly-sized galleries, showing off both the permanent collection and visiting exhibitions.
- Uluru
Deep within the relentless desert of the Red Centre lies Australia's most enduring symbol. Rising out of the flat, biscuit-baked outback, Uluru is a giant monolith 9.4km in circumference and 345 metres high, thought to be the tip of a mountain that extends many kilometres below the surface.
- Te Papa Museum
Te Papa is one of the few museums in the world that can claim to have been built from scratch in the last decade. Opened in 1998, New Zealand's National Museum is widely regarded as one of the finest in the world.
