Just curious to see what the demographic is on here and where abouts in the country are we all?

Is Australia considered a part of New Zealand? 😜
- Yep, the west island.
- We haven't annexed you yet
  
  Yet
Canada, but NZ is on my bucket list.
Te Tai Tokerau, the "winterless north".
The Tron checking in 🫡
- Good old Tron
Ōpōtiki
New Zealand
Living in Lower Hutt, but in Nelson for the school holidays
Top of the South.
Auckland
Queenstown
West Island. With love. ❤️
Wellington
Finland. I was just browsing All and couldn't resist saying hello from pretty close to the other end of the planet.
- We've heard a lot about you Finland! I keep (half) joking to my wife that we're casually going to move there..
  One of the happiest places on earth apparently!
Te Kinga at Lake Brunner, South Island
A surprising variety so far. Nobody else from Christchurch?
- Christchurch here too
- Also chch
West Auckland!
Taranaki
Newtown Wellington! 😀
The beautiful Bay of Islands
- Oh hey neighbour! Well, probably anyway. There's only like 5 of us up here 😂
  
  Hiya, yes it’s a big area and only a few Lemmy’ists. Many years ago, there was a sub at "the other place" named Bay of Islands. Tried to contact the owner/mod to take it over, but never had any reply. Ah well.
The best city in NZ - Auckland. Whoohooo!!!
- Northcote over here ᕙ⁠(⁠ ⁠_{⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠}⁠ ⁠)⁠ᕗ
Somewhere about the middle.
- Nelson?
Originally Invercargill, most recently Christchurch, currently Switzerland, soon to be Marlborough. Can't bloody wait.
- Interesting, in my mind Switzerland is about as idyllic and picturesque as it gets..
  Hard to imagine one longing for Marlborough from Switzerland, that said we do have a beautiful country ❤️
  
  I've been here for more than ten years now. It really is beautiful, and the opportunities to explore Europe have been incredible. But Switzerland is a notoriously unfriendly country and maintaining friendships here is work. Plus our parents are ageing, we miss being close to family, and I especially miss living by the ocean. Going back was always a possibility as an early retirement plan - it's also too expensive to retire in Switzerland.
  Mountains and meadows are nice for a while, but driving six hours in the era of carbon footprint reduction to get to a warm bathtub (the Mediterranean) gets a bit stale.
  (I might have some strong opinions)
Sydney
- Also known as Auckland 2.0 🤣
  
  It's almost identical, but with better weather and we can afford petrol.
