i have been on good old goolge for the last hour or so, looking for lists of names and places + twons and citys for web forms.

now i know they were about some time ago (lost the bookmark).

any one know of a list or have a list?

yes i have been all over linz but that site needs to be worked out as it is a mess.

When I saw this topic I thought... A map..?

Then I thought that was probably a bit harsh. But the more I think about it... What is wrong with looking at a map? At least then you could have an idea of where these places actually ARE.

I actually own this book. It's not new but place names in New Zealand don't change that often (except one).
