I'm mainly curious as to the thoughts of fellow New Zealanders but others welcome to comment/vote too. What I mainly want to know is what represents NZ to you, yourself. Not so much interested in what you think represents it to others internationally. Also in your comments would like to know which order you'd put them in; most liked to least liked.

Also if your choice is not listed lets hear it.

Silver Fern emblem
Kiwi emblem
Koru


They would be my top 3. Silver fern automatically makes me think NZ. The Kiwi bird does also but I associate more with the fern.

Koru I love. I got a tattoo when I was in NZ with one. It symbolizes new life, growth, strength and peace and I just love it. smitten

and helloooooooo HY.. Hope you're well. lips

Hey Hello. How are you.

The Silver Fern. Mainly because I don't relate it directly with any Moari platitudes from the white man.

I also relate the Kiwi. Especially the little cartoon Kiwi.

I like them too, but I love taking the piss out of them! I work with one every day, but yesterday one of his mates joined us on the job, they’d be chatting away and I would just start cracking up at the way they talk to each other, the worst thing is one of them gives the directions to which way we have to drive, and half the time I end up driving the wrong way? Apparently? Well between what I heard and what he tried to say?

Its not easy when he lifts his right arm and says turn left here?

Bona111: A West Australian Dole Form.


don’t be silly? They fill them out in Sydney before they fly over here, to start there full time job!

The sad part is! this is true,

It happens often, it seams even our unemployment payments are worth more than theirs?

How do you spot a kiwi? They are always broke? No matter how many homes they own? They always want to bum a smoke? As they only smoke rollies,

But they did invent copper wire! There were two of them fighting over a Penney at the time,
