HOW MANY KIWIS ARE HERE ON STEEMIT?
New Zealand is a small country with a reputation for being early adopters
I’m curious to see how many other Kiwis there are on Steemit. Nine months ago @kiwideb asked a similar question, but she didn’t find very many. To be fair, nine months ago Steemit was like an obscure cult, and there wasn’t very many of anyone.

Now could be a better time to find all the Kiwi Steemers. We could be a new sub-cult on Steemit, and could share helpful information – like where is the best place to get deals on sheep drench.
To get things rolling, here is a list of the Kiwis we have found so far (in order of when they first joined Steemit). Hopefully there are lots more we haven’t discovered yet.

If we missed you out, please mention yourself in the comments. Along with your name and a photo of yourself in your gumboots, it would be really useful if you could also include how many sheep you own, which beer you drink (Lion or DB), and which town your farm is in.
Some interesting stuff about New Zealand
The human population of NZ is 4.6 million (NZ is similar in land size to Japan or the UK)
NZ has more helicopters per capita than any other country
NZ is considered one of the more liberal nations in the world with same-sex marriage and prostitution being legal, the driving age is 16, the consensual age for sex is 16, and the drinking age is 18
No place in NZ is more than 140 km (87 miles) from the sea. (NZ is quite long and narrow)
NZ has won more Olympic gold medals, per capita, than any other country (rowing, athletics, and sailing are where Kiwis kick arse)
Only 5% of NZ's population is human - the rest are animals
NZ has the highest density of sheep of any country
30% of NZ’s land area is National Parks (which have no sheep or people)
Pizza Hut doesn’t get its mozzarella cheese from Italy - it buys it all from Taranaki and uses NZ cheese globally
NZ has the highest number of golf courses per capita in the world
Rugby player Wayne Shelford got his scrotum ripped open mid-game in a bad tackle. He was taken off the field with one testicle literally hanging out, got stitched up on the bench and continued the game. (Being staunch is a very desirable attribute in NZ)
New Zealand has more Scottish pipe bands per capita than any other country in the world. (We have no idea why)
The most popular car in NZ is a Toyota Corolla 2003 hatchback (20% of all cars in NZ are Toyota, 70% of NZ cars are silver, white, grey, or black because most Kiwis have a fear of colours, and the average NZ vehicle age is 14 years)
NZ is home to more species of penguins than any other country
What is a Kiwi?
In NZ a Kiwi refers either to a New Zealander, or the bird. In NZ the fruit is never called a Kiwi – it is always called Kiwifruit.
There are two types of Kiwifruit, the original green ones, and the much nicer golden ones (Zespri) And no, we don't eat the skins!

Anyway nice to see everyone on here, even my home town Tauranga!!

Nice to know everyone. Is there something like THIS already? I realised that we more than I though. Cheers

Well , I live here but wasn't born here , does that still count? :)
Definitely - I wasn't actually born in NZ either, but I have lived here all my life.
I think anyone who considers themself a Kiwi is one. I've added you to the list now so post some sheep pics :)
That's a pretty cool thought :) .... but as for sheep pics , hmm not sure I have any hahah , well maybe somewhere . But , I do have a story.
Right , so a while back now , I was helping my now late father-in-law at his farm. A couple of sheep went into the creek and wouldn't come out. So , I was trying to help him get these sheep out , and I don't know what the heck I'm doing , I grew up in the 'burbs man! Which at one point I had stated out of frustration , to which I got a reply of 'I'm gonna make a farmer out of you yet!' (or something similar :) )
So finally we actually get one out of the creek. The smaller one btw , and then it's starts running away , so he tells me to get after it to get it to go in the right direction back to the rest of the sheep. So .... what does it do???! .... Runs right back into the #$% creek!! .... Ya gotta be kidding me! ...
And what did I get from all of this .... So ... sheep ... ok so I don't really mind them I guess ... they're alright in the end. But ... and this is a big but ... If you don't have basic survival on the top or near the top of your priorities ... hmmm ... well I'm not so sure how well that works out.
(In the end we did get both the sheep out)
Sheep are not the sharpest tools in the shed!
Nice good info to know - following you :)
You really are into sheep aren't you? :)
Yep i love the little buggers - i wish i could save the million odd that die at work but they taste so good - NZ Lamb is world class
