New Zealand's South Island draws visitors for its mountains, lakes and coast, and native birds such as tūī and kererū are common in the bush. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear throughout the country. Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840. Rugby union is followed closely nationwide, and the national team plays in black. Queenstown, Christchurch and Nelson are among the larger centres within reach of the reserve.
