New Zealand: Deer Farm

On 25th July I got my first postcard from New Zealand and it was also my first postcard from Oceania.

Oceania is a abstract of the Islands in the Pacific to a continent.The states in Oceania are Australia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, New Zealand, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and many Dependencies.

New Zealand is a insular state. It is a member of the UN, of the Commonwealth of Nations and of the OECD. The capital of the country is Wellington. New Zealand was the first country introducing the female suffrage.

The postcard shows a deer farm in Otago. Deer farming is a major export industry in New Zealand. Important deer products are velvet and venison.

Stamp:
