hi steven
we have been deciding between ozand NZ for 4 years now been to both and went only in Feb to NZ beautiful country so many things to say, both countries have advantages and disavantages. Tauranga on the Bay of Plenty the most wonderful place ever, however thats the only place we would go and live in depends what kind of people you are, my kids are 12 and 19 they loved NZ but very very quiet no much to do for 19 year olds, so an advantage to go to NZ when kids are little so they Know no different.
We Still dont really know if weve made the right choice, OZ re NZ but we have are reasons but mainly to do with job and family already in OZ.
We orginally saw an agent in Manchester couple of years ago and he knew we were finding it hard to decide which country to migrate to, his advice then was if we applied for a Australian Visa and then chose NZ we would simply just need are passports and documents stamp in Australia then go straight over to NZ. It may be different now. I do know that, that dosent work the other way round, you can not apply for a visa in NZ and transfer it to get into OZ, you have to be living in NZ for I think its 2 years first, unless you apply for a seperate VIsa.
Good luck difficult choice, but you will not be dissapointment , my only advice would be dont live in Auckland, no different from city life here and it is the only place in NZ you get raffic jams.
good luck
tracy and john
