lord of the rings filming locations new zealand

Been to several Lord of the Rings tours in New Zealand, and this is my favourite. Not sure if it is because this is the place with Rivendell, or perhaps I had a knowledgeable and interesting guide. Went for this tour in September 2006. According to my friend who went in March 2008, there were some changes. Just checked the website, there are even more additions to it now!
The Lord of the Rings trilogy was filmed by Peter Jackson who was born in New Zealand. As a result, all of the films were produced in various locations all over the country. The trilogy, which earned many different awards, got filmed in over 150 separate locations throughout the country.
