In N Z you doubtless have a few expressions which are not heard elsewhere, not even in Australia. I am southern English, but was in Oz for three years in the early 1970s. Visited N Z around Auckland for a few hours on the way home from Oz by sea. But then, what is "English" English or British English? As far as I am concerned the North (of England) is another country for language!
