00:00I'm learning my lines for a role in a new film playing an elderly nun.
00:22Time for a piddle.
00:25Time for a piddle.
00:27And in a first for me, the film will be set in New Zealand.
00:32Oh, there we go.
00:36I'm very excited about it.
00:39But even though it's just three hours from my home in Sydney, I don't know anything about
00:44New Zealand.
00:45It seems unforgivable to be so ignorant about a country that's always been Australia's closest
00:50friend and ally.
00:52That's my name.
00:53Hi.
00:54We'll just head out this way.
00:55I'm a bit nervous about this car.
00:59So before I play a New Zealander, I've got a camper van to tour the country's two main
01:04islands.
01:05I can reach the pedals.
01:08Yay!
01:12I want to find out how being a New Zealander is different from being an Aussie.
01:20What sets our two countries apart?
01:22I haven't got a flying fart of an idea.
01:29I need to learn what is the identity of New Zealand.
01:33Yeah, and now pop your eyes.
01:35Yay!
01:36And what are the challenges New Zealanders face?
01:41Why is New Zealand different from Australia?
01:44It can be a little bit prickly.
01:46Well so can I.
01:47Why would it be different?
01:49I'm still working it out.
01:50Well, you're going to change that.
01:51You're going to change that.
