Electronic Geography
VERSEAS people are oiten vague about New Zealand’s position on the map. Sometimes they are under the impression that it is tucked under the wing of Australia like a young whale under the flipper of its parent; sometimes they see it completely isolated; on one side the tropics, on the other the howling desolation of Antarctica. Even our nearest neighbours, the Australians, sometimes have difficulty in remembering off-hand where we stand; Australians, that is, who haven't yet cultivated the habit of listening to Radio New Zealand, our short wave station. A letter to Radio New Zealand from an Australian listener tells of a school class abdut to have a geography lesson in the form of. a magic carpet trip to New Zealand. "But before we start," said the teacher, "where is New Zealand?" A hand shot. up. That was easy. "New Zealand’s in the 19- and 25-metre bands."
