Well, the producers initially wanted Australia as the filming ground, so they checked out Sydney, Melbourne, and even Brisbane, but there were too many tall, beautiful people, too tall and beautiful to become extras as Hobbits. So then they checked out the islands next door... 
This is an Oz-Kiwi thing by the way...
