Emoji Map NZ

Notes:

This was inspired by other emoji maps I have seen online. It took me a few evenings to do.

I was unable to find a lighthouse emoji for Cape Reinga (hence the light bulb), a gumboot for Taihape, a kiwi emoji for several places, Paua for Riverton, the Sky Tower, a sheep shearer for Te Kuiti, a beehive for Wellington or a bungy jumping emoji.
