[@bronzymcgrady1159]

The katipo spider is pretty dangerous and the white tail spider comes in second place...but the worst is the telemarketers that ring you constantly, pretending your number was randomly generated, makes me so scared to pick up my phone! With the bills in the letterbox coming in a close second!!

[@barrynichols2846]

No one has died from a spider bite in NZ since 1972

[@HaastTalon]

White tail spider is an Australian Import, and the worst thing about them is their living conditions, I got bitten by about a dozen while taking down an old roof(Roof dropped open at my end and they were surprised/scared so reacted by biting, most of the time they just keep to themselves.), it hurt, then a few days later it was nothing.

[@mikefrederickson9437]

White tail still an Ause

[@RonZhang]

1) NZ = part of Australia 2) Sydney Harbour Bridge connects to NZ 3) NZ is 1950’s England (well… kind of true) 4) Sheep everywhere in NZ 5) NZ has Australian animals (but did you know that wallabies were introduced in NZ and are a pest there?)

[@user-kq8if3ud5e]

A wallaby species have become so endangered in Australia that they have been imported from NZ to Aus.

[@davehawes8177]

I thought that Australia was the eastern isles of New Zealand.

[@Madison_2012_]

A misconception I hear all the time is that we are pretty much like cavemen and have no dignity at all and we are pretty much as dumb as a rock, can't speak English. Another one is that we don't even know what to do all day except for sit in front of the TV and watch rugby

[@ross82]

….monkey’s were on Kawau Island and free to roam until they were culled off.

[@BigAl53750]

MONKEYS??? I grew up in Auckland and although I saw Wallabies on our occasional family trips to visit Kawau Island, I don’t recall seeing monkeys there. I could be mistaken, it was about 60 years ago, but all I remember seeing was the wallabies that roamed the island.

[@user-kq8if3ud5e]

These 5 are caused by a lack of quality in certain education systems and/or plain stupidity. Some people are so stupid that simply looking at a map is beyond them. When flying Singapore to Sydney, the pilot will announce when crossing the Australian coast. This is shortly before the halfway point. There will be several people who will start to get ready for landing, thinking that the coast means near to sydney. My experience is that these are English. I had the pleasure of hearing a 20 year old Australian female tell a similar aged English female: "that we had a full continent to cross yet." This caused some consternation.

I thought this video would be a joke. Either to pump New Zealand up or run New Zealand down. But it's 98% serious and 100% accurate. The 2% humour being about the Weta.

Hey! That photo of our navy at the start had an ammo belt attached to the gun.. That's B/S.. NZ can't afford .50 cal ammunition, and there should be more beer in the skiff

There are a lot of wallabies here, I've seen quite a few around Otago while deer and hare hunting.

[@robertwalker1079]

I think the closest points are South West of NZ to Tasmania.

3:20 dont crash into the rear of these triumph's i did, omfg in a old XF falcon only hit it at a slow speed it totaled the front of my car and only did a little bit of damage to the triumph , they are bricks

[@timyates4617]

Sold my trumper to a uni mate. Caught up with him a year later and asked how it was going. He said he was heading to the Coromandel (peninsula east of Auckland) along narrow winding roads and got splatted by one of the few things that could - a converted Chevy Ambulance!! Trumper probably saved his life.

5:22 the possom came from Australia so did the pukeko so did the white tip spiders so did those noisy birds with the flat yellow faces that fly around in the night making clown noises, new Zealand does have kangaroo's in a certain part of new Zealand a small species of kangaroo and we also have a snake its a water snake that lives in islands off new Zealand still technically part of new Zealand, one misconception about new Zealand is that we can play rugby league 😂

One misconception I hear a lot in Australia about NZ is belief that most people in NZ are Maori. When truth is Maori are almost 20% of NZ population.

Kind of on the same theme, I've heard that it takes about two hours to row to Aussie in a Maori waka.

[@lawn_moa]

I think a part of why the Sydney-Auckland harbour bridge is such a prevalent myth is because of Kiwis and Aussies alike using it to mess with foreigners.

[@dave21002002]

AAh No - We would never do something like that. We like foreigners as tourists. Trust us. We would never joke with people. Prank perhaps but never joke

[@gromit9322]

Another miss conception is that we kiwis make sheep nervous when we wear gum boots. 🤣🤣🤣

[@HaastTalon]

Where there is actually pictures from Aussie showing a farmer near Ayers Rock, which is obvious from the red dirt, with a caption about taking their date out for a drive, a man and his sheep. It was a bad Austrailian fail at a joke, trying to say it was a Kiwi. (Although, they do have a lot of sheep over there in Aussie.)

Yeah Oz can keep their spiders 😂

Only by people that didn't know what they were talking about. Australia was founded as a prison, New Zealand was founded as a land for the well off to 'Start a new life'. And if you want to get down to it Tazmania is actually noted by the Aussies to be part of New Zealand, The NZ government should demand back taxes for the last hundred years lol.
