I guess the Europeans that colonised the Antipodes ran short of superlatives to describe or name the country they were travelling through. Paradise is also a rural locality in the Otago region of the South Island of New Zealand. It lies on the eastern side of the Dart River at the head of Lake Wakatipu, close to the settlement of Glenorchy. Awesome country for camping, tramping, gold fossicking
The locality was used as a location during filming of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, where it represented Parth Galen and parts of Lothlórien, specifically the area which the Fellowship first enters. It is also being used for filming of The Hobbit trilogy, though what scenes the location will be used for are unknown. The locality also serves as the setting for much of the BBC miniseries Top of the Lake, although filming took place in the nearby town of Glenorchy. Mr Ferret will appreciate the mountain views I am sure.
