NZ - North Island - Lower Hutt to be exact. Left NZ nearly 31 years ago. Have been back once, but hope to visit again.
Best memories - Buttercups and bumble bees, climbing the trees in the Trentham School grounds, falling into the Moonshine River (Hutt River), rolling down the hill at my Uncle Phil's sheep farm:)

This subject was done a while ago.
Ruffly,
If you're from NZ, how come theres a zero next to the NZ votes?

North island ..... South island which one is best is an argument I hear all the time and all I can do is interject and say well it doesn't matter because you are all over here on the west island so that one has to be the most popular!!!!!

Me ... I am from gods own country... Born in Pambula down in the majestic Bega Valley. Just my opinion of course
Everybody must have heeded Cliff's comment - guess we can talk but not vote. Anyway, I was born in NZ, managed to score an English grandparent so I could go work in England. Did that 10 years. Came back... probably should have stayed put given the economy here. Did some time at the CIT in The Hutt - Hi Wendy. Anyway, how about a fresh poll - "In what year will NZ become part of Aus? " or is that one done too?
I'm a pom. Came to Australia as a 10 quid tourist, aged 7.
Lived in most states except Queensland. Looking to retire to the Snowy one day...
Its a bit crazy when you set up a poll and dont even vote in it. Ah well being married to an Ossie will do that to ya. OK Cliff when was it done be interesting to see whose changed:D :eek: Tony
Hey Tonto make the voters visible so we can see who's from where.
HH.
noy a bad idea but how is that done? ....Tony
No argument here ;)Quote:

Just wish people would stop telling those pesky Victorians about the place... :p
I think it's an option when you setup the thread, not sure how to chnage it once it's up and running....Quote:

On behalf of Cliff a search for "where were you born" will disclose the poll of 2 years ago.:p http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ead.php?t=9959Quote:

Lilydale Bush Hospital, back when bush was BUSH and not arbitrarily designated so because it had less than 5 houses per tree...
My baby sis got lost in the bush for two days back then... now she'd just have to walk 20' and knock on the first front door. :(
Yeh well listen mate, when you crossed that river about 5 years ago you forgot to turn it back on and we haven't had any decent rain since, turn it back on will ya. :rolleyes:Quote:

Actually, have a (great?) grandfather who came from Ballarat so not sure if that helps or not? :)
Born in Christchurch, crossed the pond 41yrs ago (to the western island of NZ:p) , settled in WA , but left there for Qld in 1980. Im a Ozzie and I have the bit of paper that says so!
Cheers,
Had a Kiwi friend some time ago. We discussed the issue of NZ joining the Federation. He wasn't sure though how Aussies would take to the name change (frm Australia to New Zealand).
Born in Tassie to Kiwi Parents
Loyalty = Tasmania (89%)then KiwiLand(6%) then that big island up north where my tax dollars flow(5%)..:D
Didn't the Australian constitution allow for NZ to become part of Oz if they so chose however being a sensible lot thought they would go their own way though i do believe bondi was annexed by NZ in the 80's:p
(Edit)
Where do the "others" come? from this polls is quite Briticentric surely there have to be people who hail from Asia, India, Middle East, Africa N&S America as well as other European countries who are part of this forum.
I'm Duncan MacLeod, born four hundred years ago in the Highlands of Scotland. I am Immortal and I am not alone. For centuries we've waited for the time of the Gathering, when the stroke of a sword and a fall of a head will release the power of the Quickening. In the end, there can be only one."
Oh yeah? Well, I was born in a cross-fire hurricane. And raised by a toothless bearded hag.
But it's all right now.
In fact it's a gas.
:p
This frog hopped into a bank and asked to see someone about a loan.
He was directed to Ms Patrica Wack, the loan officer.
He filled in the paperwork with her help stating his father as Mick Jagger. When asked for colateral he produced a small statue.
Ms Wack was unsure so she went to see the manager and asked if the statue was colateral enough.
The manager replied............................
Wait for it..........................
"It's a nick nack Pattie Wack, give the frog a loan. His old mans a Rolling Stone..................
You knew my ex:rolleyes:Quote:

The previous poll on the subject at least attempted to give a large range of possible countries.
Peter.
8 other people disagree with you Peter :D :D
HH.
So, we'll put you down as an 'other' then, shall we ;)Quote:
