Living in a Postcard

There are no cars in New Zealand according to the Telegraph’s Tarquin Cooper, on holiday experiencing “a country unlike any other on Earth.” “As someone who is used to battling Britain’s congested traffic, being able to enjoy the open road is a novel sensation,” Cooper writes. “And a welcome one, not least for the spectacular vistas that New Zealand throws up at every turn. At a wildlife habitat on the Otago peninsula I meet a farmer, Perry Reid, who is dedicating his life to restoring the land to how it was before humans arrived. ‘We live in a postcard,’ he tells me. ‘The grass is green, the water is blue, the mountains are white. It’s a wonderful place — real fairytale stuff.’”
