Oz beats NZ hands down
If you have the choice why come to NZ?. wages and working conditions are worse than Oz, most of the year the weather is poor, you have a government that has a mindset that contemplated permitting sex between consenting 12 year olds - can you believe it!. It was only the outcry that stopped them. NZ is going nowhere, doing nothing and the education and health system is hopeless and they dont really care about families. In fact the prime minister is married ,kind of, has no kids and knows nothing about raising kids and screws middle class working families for everything she can.
Heres an excerpt from a letter to the NZ herald
I am an immigrant mother of two under 6. we have been in NZ for 3 years and are apalled at the lack of respect to children and adults. you seem to have a lot of dysfunctional underachievers leaving school. the country as a whole is too soft on crime. wer'e so unimpressed like other foreingers with the whole schooling here.
By the way petrol is $1.24/L, power prices are high and so are tax rates.
Why come to NZ? I would love to know.

Because it has a better economy than Burkina Faso? *shrug*. Probably explains why a lot of Kiwis move to Australia.

Only takes so many to look after the shepards and tourist shearers.

You obviously don't appreciate the beauty of the place, a climate that most in the UK only dream about, a lack of crowds and plenty of space to explore.
A summer that starts in Nov and goes through to Easter with weather better than the average English summer. An abundance of sporting opportunities second to none with a climate that lets you enjoy it.
As for petrol that is $A1 / ltr in Oz and their currency is approx 15% stronger. In UK petrol is 80p which works out at about $NZ2.
So pray tell what what paradise are you heading for wearing your rose tinted glasses.

that picture is of remarables lodge,nothing to do with the station,was the old homestead of the station owners but they flicked it off to a gay couple who do b and b.Nice view but it has state highway 6 going through its front garden.That use to be a gravel road 40 years ago i'm told 
The other picture is airstrip paddock on the station....i'm sick of shifting sheep off there as nzone use it for their tourists to parachute in on.Seems to have been quite a few ambulances in that paddock recently

hahahaha....bloody merinos Of all the breeds of sheep they're the most placid, laid back ,untroubled cardboard munchers of all.They would choose to graze a plank of timber rather than a green blade of grass, and you've gotta' trim their feet every year as they can't bite their own toe nails.A bit of useless information for ya'.
When the Jap tourists stop on the side of the road with their cameras having never seen a sheep before i offer them rides on the back of a big merino ram......i've yet to have one take me up on the offer
They'll gladly jump off a bridge with an elastic band around their ankles but they can't hack a rodeo with pissed off merino.
