And it wouldn't be #IngressHistoryWeek  for #NewZealand  or #Australia  without mention of the first Trans-Tasman links and field created in July 2013 as part of Operations Aurora Australis and Glowing Ogre. Quoting from the Operation Report...

20:04 NZST: First trans-Tasman link goes up.  Everybody on the edges of their seats, waiting for the next link to complete the field.
20:10 NZST: Second trans-Tasman link goes up, completing the field for a total MU gain of 14497.  Intel map shows the field sitting outside the links which created it, due to links following Great Circle arcs, while the fields are drawn as “straight-line” triangles.
