New Zealand is a sovereign island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses—the North Island, and the South Island —and around 600 smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long period of isolation, New Zealand developed a distinct biodiversity of animal, fungal, and plant life. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland.
There are a number of schools in the suburb, including Saint Martins School, Hillview Christian School and the Rudolf Steiner School. Other amenities are the Hansen, Centaurus and Saint Martins Parks.
The origin of the name is unclear. The most likely candidates are that it was named after a gathering held at Saint Martin's Hall in London immediately prior to the departure of the Canterbury pilgrims who came to settle the area, or that it was named for an area with which the original owner of the holdings (Henry Phillips) was connected.
