There's nothing left to see of Helm's Deep or Minas Tirith as they were movie sets in a nearby quarry.

Christchurch is one of the most 'english' cities in the country, and they are proud of that heritage.

The tree is one of the very few deciduous trees we have, and in spring simply covered in long tubular flowers simply dripping with nectar for the birds ... then the flowers drop and the leaves appear. Sometimes I'm envious of your northern hemisphere spectacular autumns .... we're green all year, except for exotic species.
