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

01:41Why 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.
