Cost of living in Oz/Kiwi land is lower than UK but salaries are a lot lower as well.
NZ is a beautiful country but the best way to do it is not give up your earnings in a first world currency. If you can negotiate a sterling package then you have less to worry about and can enjoy the scenery and not have to worry about the shitty local pay or conditions.

Good advice I will keep that in mind for when the time comes.

It would have to be a pretty good cinema, say West End of London. More
typically its around £5.
