On 13 December he recorded his first glimpse of a 'groot hooch verheven landt' – 'large land, uplifted high' – the Southern Alps. Flax fibre had long been used by Māori for many purposes. But British traders wanted it for one thing – to make rope for ships' rigging. In the 1820s Māori sold flax in return for goods such as muskets and blankets.Prior to 1840, Europeans and Americans (other than the missionaries) had come to New Zealand primarily to exploit resources which promised quick profits without the necessity for permanent settlement.
Who were the European immigrants to New Zealand : As well as the British, Italians, Germans, French, Scandinavians and Dalmatians were among early European immigrants to New Zealand. After World War II, there was another wave of immigration from the Netherlands and Wellington became home to more than 700 Polish orphans. More Polish immigrated in the 1980s.
