Take Liverpool as a central city of the United Kingdom; it lies nearly on the 53rd parallel of north latitude.

Wellington, the most central city of New Zealand, is not far from the 41st parallel of southern latitude.

True, New Zealand has no warm Gulf Stream to wash her shores.

But neither is she chilled by east winds blowing upon her from the colder half of a continent.

Neither her contour nor climate is in the least Australian.
