eyeballnz.com……’Site of the Month’

Media release December 2009

eyeballnz.com……’Site of the Month’

New Zealand’s ultimate travel planner www.eyeballnz.com has been named ‘Site of the Month’ in the December NZ NetGuide magazine - ‘Best of the Web, New NZ Sites’.

Launched just 3 months ago, website founders Penny & Steve Bicknell say ‘we are absolutely delighted with this achievement, and especially to be described as a “top-notch resource for travellers looking to experience the ‘real’ New Zealand”.

“Our website photos celebrate heartland New Zealand,” Steve Bicknell says, “People can see these aren’t the standard stock shots. Many of our most interesting photos are off the tourist track or aerial images.

The website is a result of two years on the road, 95 hours aboard a Polish Wilga 35a plane and 16,000 photos.

For two years, co-creators Penny and Steve Bicknell flew, motorhomed and photographed the length of New Zealand, capturing the best of Aotearoa with their two dogs, a professional digital camera and a hefty dose of determination.

The website enables browsers to explore New Zealand in a completely new way. They can plan a journey, build an itinerary and find travel and accommodation information about their chosen destination.

eyeballnz.com™ is a profile of the Bicknells extraordinary journey through New Zealand. They also invite travellers to upload their own images to the community pages on the site or enter the online photographic competition that is currently running on the site.
