Ask us to “throw a shrimp on the barbie.”
While we have some similarities with our Australian cousins (as in, we had to kick out the British, though we at least fought them to a standstill), we do, in fact, have our own thing going on–our own set of social, political and cultural issues and vastly different histories. We’re not even that close: you are looking at a good few hours on a plane to get to get across the Tasman sea – or you could be like this crazy from Rotorua and try to kayak the distance.
