They say you could substitute Christchurch for England and Scotland for Dunedin.

New Zealand is quite a unique place. Four seasons in one day.  

Every part of the world seems to be represented here.  We have a little bit of everything and there's alot to see and do.

Christchurch is DEFINATELY correct.....as pointed out Dunedin is the Scottish city and Christchurch is the English city....they have the Avon River....most streets in thecentral city are named after places in England eg Hereford, Glostershire, Wostershire, etc etc...they punt along the Avon river among other things.
