New Zealand, being settled somewhat later than other parts colonial, seems to have inherited an even balance of English, American and assorted European geographic terms. As a geological microcosm of the world, we have cols and traverses, forks and springs, divides and moraines, passes and gaps, cwms and cirques, ridges and ledges, geysers and hot pools, streams, creeks, rivers, gullies, gorges, valleys ad infinitum. You name it, we got it. Except for ... neck! Don't think I've ever come across a placename that included "Neck". Maxie may know of one, however. And over to our host for the End of All Days ....



The idiot also known as Capfka ...

I lived in Mangakino for a while - that's necks to nowhere, does that count?

I don't know the punch line, but the 'isle of yahoo' sounds like a place from which to Swiftly depart, said joe stupidly.

I have a preference for the Galgate Gigantic that grows in the place from which I have just moved - you needed very little sugar with that. The local children eat it raw !
Mind you, after centuries of inbreeding, the kids of that village would do anything.
