Re: Jobs, Jobs, Jobs,Jobs, Catchy Title, Hey.

www.seek.co.nz is a good one. Some jobs in NZ have different job titles to the UK, so be quite broad in your searches.

Re: Hawkes Bay Region

Sorry, I didn't mean to appear vague. Wairoa is cheap because there used to be quite a mongrel mob presence there, and although this is not as much as a problem as it used to be, the area is...

Hiya, I don't think you need to take it apart, the shipping company I spoke to said the bike gets crated and then put in a container. I'd drain the tank, and then just cover absolutely everything in...

Re: British Food in NZ

The NZ cookbook bible is the Edmonds Cookbook. It lists absolutely everything, Anzac biscuits, lasagne, pavalova, etc etc. Been around for almost 100 years, almost as old as NZ itself!

Re: Anyone....?

Don't fret- depends on what type of visa you're going for. I think if you're applying for a standard 2 year work visa the cut off point is 28. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong! :)
