Ok, perhaps not, knew you wouldn't come really.
Its nice, its scenic, it has beaches, it has mountains, what more do ya want?

On a serious note though, I've talked over moving to NZ with the missus and we've decided we would both rather have bowel surgery in the wood with a stick than move even further into the dark ages. The conversation went something like this.....Honey would you like to emmigrate to NZ? F off you C not while I have a hole in my A*se! (I coloured it in for effect!)

Then other 99% of your brain is used up coming on forums to try to stay sane.
I never used forums in the Uk, had way too much to do.

Re: Be nice to OZ
I dont know too much about OZ having only been to Brisbane/Gold Coast, but in NZ, it doesn't matter where you go to shop, Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington (after a 7 hour drive!) and all the shops are samey, samey usual ones.
There is just NO choice hardly anywhere.
New one just opened in Mt Wellington, Sylvia Park. Looked it up on the net, saw all the same shops as is everywhere else. Decided it wasn't worth the fuel to go look.
So, its back to looking at the mountains, the beaches, the trees, the birds, the cats, the dogs, the flowers, etc

Then I ponder is it worth driving an extra 2 hours to visit another so called town or city to experience the exact same thing as I can 20 minutes away. So left with the forum or going outside to flambé my oil and chemical soaked skin before letting the local wildlife feed off me whilst they exchange their presents like yellow or Johns river virus’s the forum seems to win every time!
