Well a lot of Kiwis are naturalised Aussie citizens...I suppose they could have dual-citizenship, in that case they'd be counted, although Kiwis have the right to live and work here I think. Not sure how it works. In any case a lot of Aussies have family across the Tasman and vice versa.
Because every single turn in the road presents yet another gorgeous vista. It really gets tedious after a while. Hell, even the garbage dumpsters are nice looking. But, to be perfectly honest, the food pales before the scenic beauty of the place.
I went to school with Kiwis in India, at an international school. The were very proud of their country (as they should be).
One thing about Aotearoa that's interesting to me is the Maoris' close kinship with native Hawaiians, even though they are separated by over 4000 miles.
Tell me any good books or any resources or websites on this topic. All the popular tourist attractions and answer what makes nz a popular travel destination/why. What types of food we're famous for and information about that specific topic examples sightseeing or culture. It has to be long and also just specific. Thank you everyone for answering this topic and I really appreciate it.
Food? People don't go to Aotearoa for the food.
South Island. Paradise. Milford Sound. Maori culture. Beautiful scenery everywhere. Maybe some go for the surfing.
It's a lot greener than Australia. You couldn't pay me to go to Australia. (Shhhh.... )
P.S. I imagine NZ is big on lamb. If you want to know how to make a really tasty lamb dish, go to Mongolia or Central Asia, and learn how to make steamed lamb dumplings. People will beat a path to your door. Guaranteed.

They both have a common origin. NZ was only settled by people about 1200 years ago.
