Aussies and Kiwis, what's the difference ?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

So do Aussies. I did try a few (pies, not Aussies) and found that they tasted like crap but then, so do English pies.

Ozzies and Kiwi's actually get on really well together. We share the same dry and laconic sense of humour. We give each other shit all the time, but when it comes down to it, would rely on and trust each other more then we would almost any other race. Read Stroppy's (long winded lol) post. It captures the relationship pretty bloody well. And screw the cricket - how are the Warriors doing this year? LMFAO and GO THA BRONCO'S!
There you go again bringing the Warriors into this. That's a low blow even for an Aussie.

The Warriors are trying their best and that's all we ask of them. They are special like, riding the short bus to school special.

So lets start a list of famous Australians, who were born in NZ.
It's a bit hard to decide whether a person is a Kiwi, because they were born there or a Australian cause they live there, but jump the ditch every so often. Many , like myself, until recently even had two passports.

Here's a few that I know of
Manu Bennett, actor in The Hobbit
Keith Urban
Allison Durbin
Neil, Tim Finn
Sam Neil
John Clark [ Fred Dagg ] TV
Derryn Hinch TV/Radio commentator

Thanks Anchor Moy for creating this thread, i hope i will learn more about these two nations from this thread. So far, i don't have anything to share, i will keep reading. It is sad that i didn't manage to get to meet many kiwi while i met a lot of Aussies. It would be great if i could hear from both sides. One thing i noticed is that Aussie always make joke of Kiwi for not opening their mouth when speaking English.
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

I think you may have that joke back to front,,, It's the kiwi's wanting the aussies to shut their mouths when speaking Australian.
