# 3 Our continent was named by the ancient Greeks "Terra Australis Incognita."
# 4 Our province has the longest wooden covered bridge in the world.
# 5 Our country is long yet narrow...few people live more than 2 hours from the coast. There are lots of islands & we have volcanoes, boiling mud pools & earthquakes, since the land is geologically quite "young" ! There are many inland mountains, some over 10,000 feet ( 3000 metres)
# 6 The country we live in has only been this country for 7 1/2 years.
# 7 We have 236 surrounding islands.
# 8 The main indigenous languages are Shona and Ndebele.
# 9 The four main types of festivals celebrated here are the New Year (1st of Jan), Chinese New Year, Hari Raya and Deepavali
# 10 It was an old belief here that Aurora Borealis is a result of a fox running over the fjelds(mountains) and sweeping its tail over the sky.
