Will is correct about the NZ night skies. The milky way is awesome and the best views are to be had away from the city areas with their lights, but, having said that you still are able to view the southern night sky in all it's glory.

There are star clusters viewable with the naked eye that can only be seen from down under. As a child I can remember standing in the backyard (back garden to you) gazing at at clear sky looking for a falling star or a satellite which looked like a star moving across the sky.
