Yes, should be Whanganui. (Dialect difference in Maori confused the spelling for many years).

Do you come from the Bay of Plenty? Do you know the Marlborough Man? The West Coast girls are really hip. Nelson and Tasman. Northland and Southland are easy to remember, unless they are territories or provinces.

I didn't get any. I could have got Aukland and Wellington. Christchurch would have failed. Its a city. I think

0/16, I can only divide NZ into North and South Island and neither one is a part of this quiz.

I love how the guess rate for Auckland and Wellington are >90%, but anything besides that drops to barely 50% or less successful guesses

How is Tasman the least guessed? I didn't actually know any of them, but Tasman was my third guess.

Probably because a lot of the people looking for this quiz are Kiwis, and among Kiwis people forget it exist or think it's part of Nelson.

As a man who was born there and lived there for 7 years, I know my regions and visited almost all of them except Southland. I live in the States now. Hopefully my Kiwis are doing well back home.
