Why isn't there a bridge from Australia to New Zealand? (rated, snakes)

[lndigo]

I thought Australia has a lot of New Zealand immigrants?
So wouldn't it make sense to connect the two?

And have dastardly snakes slithering their way over here? ..... no thanks!

Ha ha we'll there are lots of New Zealanders in oz . However I don't think many people could handle the 2 day drive accross the bridge.

Have you looked at a map? Do you have any idea how far apart the two countries are?

OP, the distance between Sydney and Auckland is 2,161 kilometers, about 1,343 miles. Easily two days drive. Surely you are not serious. If you are, you need to read up on map scales and projections.

New Zealand is very close to Australia its separated by the Tasman sea not a large ocean.

Doh.

[dunno what to put here]

Same reason why there isn't a bridge from here to Norway.

Not that close really London is closer to Kiev than any major Australian city is to Auckland.
