    NZ is only an Island off of Australia in the same way that New Guinea is or Indonesia for that matter.

    Hawaii is only an island off the US and it is us but I never knew what "BODDA YOU?" ment till I visited there.

    They sound the same.

    Actually there's an Easy test to tell the difference between Aussies and Kiwis. Just ask them to say the word "france"... I cant tell you how they'd answer cos im pissed and cant get my head around it...(to many accents in my head) lol but there's a difference.

    Yes Stephanis New Zealanders have a big chip on their shoulder about us but there is parochialism everywhere. You should hear the way West Australians speak about you New South Welshmen ..lol

    I don't know how many New Zealanders there are in Australia now but New Zealand wants them back (after calling them every name under the sun for leaving).

    How to speak Kiwi 101: Say "bro" and "Ay" a lot. As in "ut's a gud day fu goun dun thu pub, ay bro!?"

    What I noticed when I was in New Zealand was that no one was originally from there. I ran into a ton of Irish people there, but very few Kiwis. Very strange. And according to my friends in Vic. and NSW - Kiwis say "six" as "sex".

    Doc I was born and raised in snobish, cultural, convict free Adelaide and we speak much like New Zealanders.

    South Australians ask a girl to dance, try that in Sydney and they call you a poofter lol. In Sydney they ask a girl to daaaance (pity there's no sound on this thing lol.

    Castle is another wun one.

    Nahhh those were the Puritans that the Brits forbid to read the bible that came over on the Mayflower. Or was that the Catholic Church. No matter.

    I don't think their fellow Brits minded them reading the bible as much as them being a dangerous control freak mysogynes cult
