My dad's a kiwi (or so he claims - he has never held a NZ passport, but has lived there for more of his life than any other country, go figure) so I have been over there a lot in my life. I poke fun at kiwis more than anyone else in the world, probably, but every time I get off the plane there, I'm amazed when I remember just how friendly they are.
The pay in our industry is slightly better over there than it is here, and the conditions are certainly superior. And I've got family everywhere, so I would do it. As a second choice to Melbourne.
