About 4 months back Yahoo decided to separate Australia and New Zealand travel category.
It used to be Travel >Australia & NZ.
Since they did this, there has been a glitch in the system and anything that is Posted under NZ ends up in Australia, even though it says NZ.
to prove my point if you go to Travel > New Zealand - there is no questions.

I have tried to point this out to Yahoo many times on their suggestion board to no avail.

I remember seeing a map in the paper a few years ago that had a BAD drawing of australia, with Auckland attached to the top ( north of Cairns!!!)....I beleive it was where many Canadians beleived was where Auckland was.
For my part, being a kiwi, i did know that Auckland was in New Zealand and not OZ!

Hahha, that's exactly what I was thinking yesterday as I was answering some questions... it's like WTF?
Why do people answer about Australia when people actually want to know about Auckland.
I guess it's better than people thinking its Oakland or something totally ridiculous like that!
It's kind of weird that people will look in the NZ section expecting things to be about Australia..... hmm so curious!
Thanks for pointing it out, I was thinking it was just me!

It was annoying me too. I normally look at the Australia questions (being an Aussie) and am continually shocked to see questions about Auckland. I even told someone to post their question elsewhere (which made me feel mean).
I guess its an honest mistake for someone that doesn't know much about Australia or NZ though...it wouldnt' be too unusual for someone down here to think a city that was in Canada was in the US...would it?

Auckland is a part of New Zealand. Australia is near this place. When you hear New Zealand, it comes to your mind Australia because of their location which is just adjacent country.

Uh.....duh! Isn't Auckland one of the major cities in New Zealand? It even used to be the capital city until 1865 when it was replaced by Welllington!

No people never seem to read and analyse properly anymore. Just like no one seems to really listen anymore either. But yeh, Aukland is certainly in NZ!
