No idea, never been there. :-p
Of course, Australians do apprently tend to claim every New Zealand
born "celebrity" who becomes famous as their own, as well as many New

Then there's the New Zealand media, which makes a massive deal about
any connection with a famous person, place, or event, no matter how
insignificant that connection actually is.
