Back to The Dalmatians
 * Statements about the Dalmatians for the Dictated Drawing:**
 * In the 1870's there were few jobs in Dalmatia.
 * The Austrian Empire ruled Dalmatia and the Dalmatians often did not like their laws.
 * Dalmatia was overpopulated. There was a lot of space in New Zealand.
 * Between 1980 and 1964 over 10,000 Dalmatians immigrated to New Zealand.
 * Most of the Dalmatians settled in Northland, as the climate was similar to home.
 * They worked on Kauri Gum fields digging in the ground for Kauri Gum to be used to make varnish.
 * The Dalmatians were very hard workers
 * Dalmatians faced prejudice in New Zealand because they spoke very little English, could stretch out their money to last and had never dug for Kauri Gum before.
 * Laws were passed in New Zealand to make it difficult for Dalmatians to dig for Kauri Gum.
 * Today many Dalmatian families in New Zealand have been here for a very long time. Many of them work in the wine industry, restaurants, orchards etc.
