G'morning Bo,

 BS> Yes. Then the little Kingdom got known down there (or
"under" :)) ? ;)

Australians like to be known as the people who live "Down Under" 
the Earth...

 BS> Aha, but anyhow why would he do it on purpose?

For the same reason people build towers in mazes - easier to look 
down on the maze of islands and see the way past or through them 
than to risk your only boat in some rocky blind alley...

 MM>  The original speeling here was "Nieeuw Zeeland",  so you're right
 MM> on the button...

 BS> Dutch is strange. ;)

NZ has both Dutch and Africaans immigrants - and they all work 
hard and earnestly,  becoming successful NZers....   very strange 
!

:-))
