Re: Why move to NZ instead of Oz??

That's fair comment, so is the fact that most Australians prefer to live in the UK, and those who can do, just like Kiwis in Australia I guess. You can never have enough barmen in London that's for...

Re: Why move to NZ instead of Oz??

Re: Why move to NZ instead of Oz??

Educating who exactly? Where is your Oxford, Cambridge or Kings College for example?

Re: Why move to NZ instead of Oz??

You're just saying that because you're a Kiwi Lass! I'm kidding, you are quite right.

To be fair I think that there's quite a bit to dig out, she's a big country!

Re: Where to live in Welly

Have to agree about the shacks in Wellington, pretty bad, surprising that they never sorted it out over the years as Auckland have. They never really went through any sort of mass renovation or...

Re: Why move to NZ instead of Oz??
