Hi Lindie
I am one of the other Kiwis to visit here every day or so, it is an awesome site that Kirk & Clancy provide. As said above, between Kirk & Jean teaching you, you will be flying along in no time, & what is really cool is that you can borrow Jean's copy of 'Plane Talk'. How cool is that!
When you get the basics sussed out an essential part of your repertoire in NZ is to learn to play 'Loyal' by Dave Dobbyn, kiwis love it! A real crowd pleaser!
I am sure you will love it here, just don't tell any Aussie jokes & Clancy will be nice to you.
Dan
PS. Note to Clancy: I see there aren't any All Blacks with handbag smileys yet.
